But it will prove divisive.
As a result, they are one of the most important and powerful units in the game.
This guide covers every facet of Army Commanders to help you optimize your empire.
They retain promotions and experience gained across ages as well.

This provides a flat +2 combat strength for units when using this ability.
Unit placement and movement is more important than ever in Civilization 7 because of the addition of Army Commanders.
A unit just needs to be further thansix tilesfrom the Commander and have full movement speed.

This becomes even easier with the addition ofRailroadsin theModern Age.

Legatus
This is theRoman Antiquity Age’sunique Army Commander.
For every three commander levels the unit acquires, you could settle a new settlement.
It leans heavily into Rome’s expansionist and militaristic play style.
Noyan
The Noyan is the Mongolian Exploration Age unique commander.
It provides a 50 percent flanking bonus to Cavalry units within its command radius.
It works very well with theKeshig,the Mongolian’s unique ranged cavalry unit.
Hazarapatis
The Hazarapatis is thePersian Antiquity Age’s uniquearmy commander.
It begins with theInitiative promotion.
Mwami
The Mwami is the Bugandan Modern Age’s unique army commander.
It provides an extra 50 percent yield to any pillaged tiles.
As standard, we like to take theInitiative Promotionas our first upgrade.
This might be a defensive tactic by taking promotions in theBastion treeor more aggressive via theAssault tree.
