I myself see the military style managing things.
Maybe your style is economic with all others being only tools to achieve that goal?
Or is your command run by the political leaders?
Or something else?
Whatever your style....
The trend is to keep details secret from people you don't know or trust as it may be used against you.
Which would explain some of the secret drama in the game.... 😛

Will say my style is military.
I prefer armour support of a main spearhead.
Econ wise it is costly so smart tactics are a must!
All modern games have some rpg element in regards to character development.
It might be buried under layers of features but there is usually some element that a person can exploit for a unique personal experience.

I guess it's important to point out....
If an alliance commander for example, has a sound strategy you are considered part of it. You will have success just day to day in support.
The second commander can be the focus as I have seen in the past.
I have also seen environments where the lower ranks make all the crucial decisions.
You can have an agenda inside the dominant strategy but you'll be supporting that more or less....
If you are against that grain you are more contradicting yourself than anything else....
That is if the dominant strategy is sound....
To each their own right? Basically the game is in your hands but being solo has advantages and disadvantages. Since EA has changed the economy and Warfare landscape many years ago the spoils of War are not a reality, team digging is not rewarded and the original version has been watered down to a version of Farmville with conflicts only reaping bragging rights of land possessions. The politics is absorbed with funding, the personal side is knowing Who is who on the big hitters, and the economy resorts back to the round table of who gets to dictate the outcome of the server on hitting orders.
Point made are good.
But I believe you are commenting on the flat mechanics of harvesting, looting, funding,....
Which do ultimately decide for example the "first to the goal" argument
I am more concerned with the player's motivations and how they make up their command style. I believe that by building a character long term enjoyment of the game is possible with or without a badge strategy.
I have noticed over the years some slick strategies.
I once saw a commander play their strategy like the interface was a string of news releases.
Wow "I BET YOU THINK THIS HEADLINE IS ABOUT YOU..." again , wow....
Looking around and seen this post so i figured ehh ill comment i need experience lol. I play economics if its a classic world but if its a forgotten attacks world i go full military and credits. Unless its the test server then i play for fun. I do not like to get into politics.
I like people who play econ.
They tend to have basic military strategies while rp'ing a trust relationship of internal elements. Almost political at that point....
