////////Author's Note- War games over the last hundred years have systematically replaced the entertainment industry. These games had real world consequences, which had caused everyone to pay attention. The celebrities were no longer movie stars or musicians, but professional gamers. Every little snippet of every war is analyzed, critiqued, reported on, and streamed live. Due to this the following information is common knowledge.
1. The first few battles are known as skirmishes. They are smaller scale battles of a few hundred people. Each side has a commander, and often squad leaders.
2. A commander cannot call a retreat until reaching the minimum battle time of 20 minutes.
3. Each person in the skirmish is valued at a certain number of contribution points. The game auto-assigns this value based upon how strong a player is, along with their current battle rank.
