Officers are there to assist your personal leader with his or her attacks in tactical mode. Only your core troop (the unit under your leader) will have officers. Tactically, you can only control your personal character (Ellen, Rupert, Leinhardt, Morene, Cirith, Walter and Ogreman) while giving strategic commands to your other troop leaders.
IGN can assuredly tell you that for most of the game, you will be focused on the strategic movements of friendly and enemy units on this mini-map. What you may find unhelpful is that the mini-map adjusts its size depending how far you move your arrow cursor away from your currently selected unit. If you've experimented with Gerald's or Lucretia's campaign, you'll know that the L and R triggers will also serve to let you cycle through your available (i.e., non-dead) units. So how do you play an RTS on a console controller? We can tell you this - it ain't easy.įirst, you need to think like an RTS player - the mini-map you can bring up by holding the R trigger is your primary means of giving all manner of commands, casting spells, and using map-based abilities (mainly spells but some other unit abilities are non-tatical). Despite what you may think it could be with its tactical level combat, you should engage to play KUFH as an RTS or you stand to lose (very easily) on all aspects and missions of the game. KUFH is primarily an RTS (real-time strategy) game similar to what you'd find in Warcraft or whatnot.
