Command
Hard

Threat
This order allows an army or navy commander to attempt to gain control of a population centre of a hated or disliked nation which is in the hex, but not hidden, merely by threatening it with attack. This order cannot be done if there are any enemy armies present, or any armies that consider your nation an enemy. Success is based on the character’s command rank, the size of the population centre, the loyalty rank of the populace, the size of the threatening army or navy, the presence of any war machines in the army or navy, and the presence of fortifications in the population centre. Other armies of the same nation as the threatening force in the hex will increase the chances of success (without the need to issue a Threaten order themselves). A successful order will improve the character's command rank by 1-10 points, will gain control of the population centre for the character’s nation, and will affect the population centre’s loyalty. Navies will not anchor ships as a result of this order, but must be able to do so.
