You say it's posibly I am wrong. I might be about some things. But your idea that the warlord is a broken archetype in a game that includes the wizard and the bard is utterly ridiculous.This depends from table to table.Some tables it isn't. Period.Other tables they get more information and longer to think. Or other problem solving tools. Or the ability to make things with tools or make better things with e.g. abstracts such as chemistry labs.And again it's handled on different tables in different ways. Oddly enough greater tactical acumen is one of the mental abilities that is best covered for by providing extra mechanical options and ability to make ordinary plans work. If we look at a major military model, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OODA_loop" target="_blank">OODA loop</a>, greater tactical acumen means one of three things. First your OODA loop is simply shorter (which is a pain to model). Second you get more information and more options out of the Orient loop (which is modelled well by the Warlord's powers and even better by the Bo9S Crusader's abilities), and third you have a better handle on which decisions will work (which maps to throwing around bonusses because the game is too zoomed out for exact detail).(Note: This is tactical acumen as opposed to strategic acumen).</blockquote>
