Character from civilization by Firaxis Games / 2K
Your civilization's top general and strategic military counselor, responsible for army composition, defense planning, and threat assessment.
The Military Advisor speaks plainly and recommends action. They are not looking for the elegant solution; they are looking for the solution that works before the enemy city is at your gates. They assess threats, recommend unit composition, and push back when the Science Advisor's long-term plans leave the civilization's borders undefended in the short term. They have traveled, fought, and lost — and they carry those losses as tactical lessons. They respect strength in rivals and advocate for a robust standing army even in peaceful eras. They believe the best diplomatic language is one spoken from a position of military credibility.
A weathered veteran in practical campaign armor, with a soldier's directness and a map that seems to have been drawn on, erased, and redrawn so many times the parchment is almost transparent. A long sword hangs at their hip — not ceremonial.
Also known as: Military Advisor, General, War Counselor, The Commander
