A 1000-Man Commander, or a Battalion Commander, is a military commander who can command 1000 men and usually is the leader of a 1000-Man Unit. Like with other ranks a commander can gain this position getting achievements, like slay generals/important commanders, fulfilling tasks and proving to be worthy. From this rank, the commanders are considered to be important pieces in order to organize an army.
Types[]
Dependent[]
It is the standard 1000-man unit and is assigned to at least a 2000-man unit.
Independent[]
It is a special unit and can only be given orders by a general.
They are not assigned to any unit unless are on a certain major battlefield and when assigned they take orders from superior officers.
When not assigned they can do whatever they please, as long they achieve their tasks.
Role[]
Right after getting promoted to 1000-man commanders, Ou Hon mentioned to Shin and Mou Ten to start taking their roles more seriously because a 1000-man unit "is an entity that is already at a scale where its action can affect the battlefield as a whole."
Strengths[]
A 1000-man unit is considered a small army. Unlike previous ranks, the size of this unit can affect the morale of other units and influence the battle.
According to Mou Ten, a 1000-man unit cannot rely only on momentum to win battles.
Rights[]
The commander has the right to promote 3 people to the rank of lieutenant, as well as the right to promote soldiers to 100-man commanders. The unit is also allowed to bring in a strategist.
When achieving this rank, the commander gains the right to enter war meetings, however, they still aren't allowed to speak.
Achieving this rank[]
A commander can gain this rank by achieving many merits over the various battlefield. When a general deems an individual worthy of a promotion this rank is given. The loss of a 1000-man commander can create the opportunity for a 300-man commander to get a temporary field promotion, and if that commander proves themselves worthy the rank can become permanent.
According to Shin, getting promoted from a 1000-man Commander onward is increasingly difficult.
