An example of a powerful military leader.

How to recruit the train the best military leaders for the ground, navy, and the air.

Universal Rules

• Preparation:
  • Set military spending to levels 5 to 9.
  • Maintain readiness between 50% to 100%.
  • To maximize the chance of getting a higher buff attribute and level up military leaders faster and more efficiently, it's advisable to keep both military spending and readiness at their maximum levels.
• STEP 1: Recruiting the Best Leaders
  • Acquire the best leaders from the available 5 military leader recruitment cards.
• STEP 2: Leveling Up Attributes
  • Level up your leaders to level two and beyond.
  • Select traits based on your play-style. See guide below to determine which traits are most suitable for you.
• STEP 3: Training for XP Gain
  • Mainly focus on "blob training" by training 11 to 21 unit divisions simultaneously for rapid XP gain.
  • You can also gain experience from not only training, but also through combat in war and capturing cities.
  • Use modifiers to boost experience gain such as max Military Spending, Military Planning in Static Lines, Grand Battle Plan in Manoeuvre Warfare, and the corrupt but usually unworthy national modifier, Loyalist Military Academies.

Trait Selection

Primary Traits

• Versatile: Aggressive, Defensive, and Frontline Leader.
• Ground: Panzer Commander and Unyielding.
• Ground Part 2 (Geographic Specialization): Desert Fox, Winter Soldier, Jungle Warrior, and Mountaineer.
• Naval: Submarine Skipper, Escort Leader, Capital Officer, and Naval Aviator.
• Air: Ace Pilot, Ground Pounder, and Bombardier.

Support Traits

• Versatile: Logistician and Organizer.
• Ground: Support Leader.
• Naval: Galepseed.

Notes

• Prioritize geographic traits when engaging in combat on unique terrain and biomes:
  • Desert Fox: Arid.
  • Jungle Warrior: Jungle.
  • Winter Soldier: Mild Winter, Severe Winter, and Arctic.
  • Mountaineer , Hilly, Semi-Mountainous, and Mountainous.
• Prioritize these traits with the highest combat stats: Aggressive, Defensive, Support Leader, and all geographic traits.
• Only use Support Leader when playing defensively or as a support, since it only buffs artillery and anti aircraft.
• Only use Panzer Commander when you are using tanks.
• Pick the following naval traits:
  • Submarine Skipper for submarines: useful for swiftly ambushing and sinking unprotected enemy capital ships, the battleship and the aircraft carrier, the two most important units in the navy. This tactic is especially useful for huge submarine fleets combined with this doctrine.
  • Escort Leader for destroyers and frigates: most useful early game where most navies only have escort ships because capital ships are limited during early game; otherwise, Capital Officer and Naval Aviator are the best traits, because they boost capital ships.
  • Capital Officer for battleships: short-range, heavy bombardment, practical for navies without carriers and only battleships, relying on limited combat range during naval warfare.
  • Naval Aviator for aircraft carriers: long-range bombardment, not as much firepower as battleships but still powerful, practical for a fleet with at least one aircraft carrier, allowing for power projection and bombardment from afar.
• Pick the following air traits:
  • Ace Pilot for fighters: strengthen aerial supremacy.
  • Ground Pounder for attackers: heavier bombardment attacks against enemy ground troops.
  • Bombardier for bombers: intensify devastation during bombing campaigns.
• Avoid Organizer and Galespeed (movement speed) unless necessary.
• Avoid Logistician if you are Fascism, or just avoid it overall if the upkeep burden is not substantial.
