How this system affects decisions
Information and access are strategic resources: scouting reveals where to defend or attack, while terrain and line of sight affect which routes and targets can be reached safely. Use the mechanic together with the map layout rather than treating it as an isolated statistic.
How to use this reference
Set the battlefield dimensions; larger maps increase travel distances and the space available for expansion. The command changes how a group moves or chooses targets; its result depends on unit speed, formation, and the route. Try it with the intended group before relying on it during a fight.
