Assembling a Battlegroup

In conventional battles, the presence of a lone Titan - even a Scout class such as a Warhound - can be sufficient to guarantee victory. However, when Titans go to war en masse, they are formed into ad hoc groups, operating together under the command of their most senior Princeps, for the duration of a campaign.

When playing Adeptus Titanicus, all of the units (i.e., individual Titans and Knight Banners) under a player's command are referred to as their "battlegroup". This is a loosely defined term which encompasses maniples of Titans, individual Titans acting as reinforcements, and any attached support units, such as Banners of Knights from allied Houses.

In Adeptus Titanicus, the line between Loyalist and Traitor is a murky one, for it was nigh-impossible to claim that an entire Titan Legion was truly dedicated to a single cause. However, as the war progressed, the tactics utilised by both forces diverged, a fact most notable in the physical changes wrought upon the Traitors by the powers they consorted with. Even amongst those dedicated to the same cause, the methods of war become divergent, the circumstances of this new conflict forcing the adaptation of individual tactics.
