It is especially powerful in that it can be used from a distance; the Citadel Guard do not need to engage the fortification and can indeed be involved in a campaign in an entirely different part of the territory. The order has no additional effect against temporary defences such as those created by [[Frozen Citadel of Cathan Canae]], [[the Basalt Citadel]], or the [[Army qualities#Engineer\|Engineer]] [[army qualities\|quality]].</box>
