	A ''campaign'' refers to a clash of forces in a territory when one or more of the armies or navies there attacks. Campaigns stretch over three months and encompass multiple encounters between the Imperial forces and the [[barbarian]] enemies. Each commander issues a single set of orders to determine the strategy their [[~~Imperial army\|~~army]] or [[~~navy\|~~navy]] will pursue during the campaign. The orders create a narrative for the campaign; they communicate the aims of the Imperial forces and shape the results of success (or failure) at each stage of the campaign.
