Neither has made it to Copper medal status, meaning that in a month and a month-and-a-half respectively, neither product could sell more than 50 copies. But, the question remains of reputation. Perhaps these authors, neither of which has much of a name or reputation, cannot move their class. So I opted to publish my own warlord fighter archetype, with a list of new maneuvers. (In honesty, it was because I had written the class and options and had it on my website, but the battle master wasn't in the SRD, so keeping the class on my site made it non-OGL legal. So rather than just trash the class, I revised and doubled the number of maneuvers and threw it on the DMsGuild).In the week since I published, I have sold 10 copies of <a href="http://www.dmsguild.com/product/174898/5MWD-Presents-Maneuvers--Commander" target="_blank">5MWD Presents: Maneuvers & Commander</a>. 1.37 copies per day to be exact. My other books have sold 3.05, 6.73, and 4.84 copies per day with an average of 4.87 copies per day. So the Maneuver book is really under-performing. Now, two of those books (<a href="http://www.dmsguild.com/product/172032/5MWD-Presents-Traps" target="_blank">Traps</a> and <a href="http://www.dmsguild.com/product/173091/5MWD-Presents-Diseases--Poisons" target="_blank">Diseases</a>) are DM content, which is rarer on the Guild and seems to sell quite well. But even my player focused <a href="http://www.dmsguild.com/product/171295/5MWD-Presents-Feats" target="_blank">Feat</a> book is selling three times as much as the book of Maneuvers and the warlord.Making that product was apparently hardly worth my time. So I reiterate my position: there isn't much interest for the warlord. It has a few ardent fans, but the majority are likely happy with the bard, battle master, or Purple Dragon Knight, and there's not really enough interest for WotC to be concerned about making a brand to class.</blockquote>
