Does your army actually participate?

This game looks super cool but I just have to ask. I see you charging in with your army but the core gameplay seems to be you cleaving through everything by yourself. Does your army actually do anything or serve any kind of purpose or are they just mainly cosmetic while you do all the work? Is there any kind of army management on top of managing yourself?

In key battles where there's strategic direction, yes. In those massive charges, YES.

The general gameplay is you being a loose unit, as the player always has been, but influencing the battle more with morale boosts and helping as each other unit completes their objectives, or fails. The game will have more reliable allies than most DW games, but not in a way that makes it easy, well too easy, it's a Musou game after all.

There's small squad management, you can build up your squad in basic ways and get new tactics to use (volley, charge, spear wall) that really help speed up smaller combats, and can be lifesaving in major ones.
