Military Commander strategy in 195-0 World Draft

Military Commanders are the clearest General specialists in the game. Their value is not merely raw fit: keeping one for General can preserve the strongest military tier bonus while covering the authority requirement.

Draft plan

Decisions for this category

Decision 1

Military Commanders share the same role weights: a different name is not a stronger General. General offers top-tier fit and a top specialist bonus, so compare alternatives before filling that seat.

Decision 2

A Military Commander can take President when no Politician or Dictator arrives, but check whether another strong General option exists first.

Decision 3

When another Military Commander or Dictator is already assigned General, a second command category does not add another General bonus. Compare President and Vice President using the remaining candidates; authority is already covered by the first commander.

What does moving a commander out of General cost?

This teaching cabinet uses representative candidates from the bundled pools. It is not today's Daily lineup. Compare the two complete cabinets below: only General and Vice President exchange occupants, while the other three appointments, countries, and authority coverage stay fixed.

At zero battlefield variance, the first assignment scores 195 and the swapped assignment scores 195. The difference is 0 points after rounding and the score cap. Equal displayed scores can hide different component values; compare fit and bonuses before concluding that the appointments are equivalent.
