Country Leader (TLK)

The leader has an extremely important job to do. That job is to successfully operate and maintain the country they are in charge of. They are the face of their nation and along with that is the appearance that a player's leadership radiates to other countries. If a leader, which can often include their HC as well, is known for having a lack of knowledge, leadership, or control others will see that country as an easy target. Therefore, knowing how to successfully lead a country is detrimentally important and must be mastered before ever considering taking on that mantle.

Depending on a player's selected high council, a leaders responsibilities can range from a single task to many. Some of these tasks include planning and strategizing, diplomacy, communication, speed, and quick-thinking.

Planning & Strategizing

Leaders must be willing to plan from time to time if it becomes necessary as countries may not always have planners readily available during certain hours of the day. Being able to assemble a plan of action and effectively carry it out can make the difference between a country of players who actively show up when they are needed or decide they'd rather do their own thing. A leader must always have a strategy prepared and ready to be carried out. This type of confidence and preparedness will resonate with that players countrymen and keep them loyal.

Diplomacy

A fairly large part of being the leader of a country is the players ability to be a persuasive and logical diplomat. When a country is in a tight spot and needs assistance in a situation that might need more than one country involved, diplomacy is an appropriate way to achieve a goal.

Communication

Like they say 'Communication is key' and that's no different when leading a country in The Last Knights. A Leader must be able to communicate clearly with their countrymen so that mistakes are not made. Clarification is also important to ensure that the information received is heard correctly the first time.

Speed

There will be times when the leader is expected to act fast during a battle run. This often pertains to movement or even clicking that attack button. A player in the role of a leader can avoid serious problems later on if they can manage their speed at the right times.

Quick-Thinking

A leader will constantly be faced with situations where the opportunity of thinking quickly can help turn the tides of battle in their favor. Hesitation is all it takes for a plan to fall apart and for a leaders country to end up in a terrible predicament. Having backup plans or being able to re-strategize last minute can help minimize and even completely remove any chance of a failed operation.
