Many structures within the Kingdom of Accia are organized into sets of ten, mimicking the Erlithmanil themselves. Units are one of these structures. These units are present in both the Accian Military itself and the Accian Military Training Program. Recruits are immediately grouped together in this way once enlisted, often going on to serve alongside these unit-mates once they begin their military service.
While each unit is unique, there is a basic structure every unit shares. They are comprised of five combatants and five support, though all Accian soldiers are expected to be able to function individually in battle to some degree. In fact, many soldiers can play both support and combative roles! The five combatants are two close combatants, an aerial soldier, a midrange combatant and a ranged combatant. Meanwhile, support roles include an enhancement support, special support, control support, mobile support and command support. However, sometimes a unit will have calvary in place of mobile support or special combatant in place of specialized support. Their training is designed to bring out the skills of each individual while still training them to work cohesively and compliment each other's skills.
Close Combatant | Close Combatant |
Midrange Combatant | Long Ranged Combatant |
Aerial | Mobile Support/ Cavalry |
Enhancement Support | Special Support/ Special Combatant |
Control Support | Command Support |
Most units follow this basic structure, but, because magic forms and individual skills can vary wildly, there are plenty of units whose members dip into and out of various divisions and roles. The kingdom carefully organizes these units by hiring strategists from the kingdom's various colleges. The administration department of the training program carefully monitors the skills, progress and synergy of the recruits and adjusts these units carefully over the two years every recruit spends within the program. By the time they reach service, most have their particular niche figured out. It is this structure and these highly specialized soldiers which have led to the incredible success and advancement of the Accian Empire.
