The rank of field-leader is bestowed upon competent guildmembers by the head of a guild. It is a guild-rank for pacifists only (see HELP PACIFISM) but carries the same privileges as the captain guild-rank. Field-leaders and their subordinates manage village, town and cityfolk enlistables, finalising their enlistment into one of the guild's fielworker legions.
Many of the functionality for moving the worker legions resemble those of the military - for the sake of convenience and familiarity - but the purpose of guildworkers is far less one-dimensional than troops. Enlistments, for example, are expressly performed in special dormitories and NOT in barracks. Guildworkers may have a peaceful goal, banding together in great numbers to achieve pacifist or creative objectives. The special skills available to a field-leader and his or her guildworker legions varies from profession to profession. Here, however, is a list of your basic field-leader commands:
ENLIST <guildsman> To enlist a guidsman into a worker legion.
FORTIFICATIONS To review guild fortifications.
WORKERS Reviewing a summary of guild workers.
LOCALE [<dirn>] To review legion formations nearby.
SURVEY/BANNER Summarise your location/legion info in locale.
DISPATCH Interact with dispatches (see HELP DISPATCH)
MARSHALL Take up command-post of a legion (see HELP MARSHALL).
LEGION The all-important legion command (see HELP LEGION).
LEGIONS Review through legions under your banners.
HELP TRAINING Info into specialist-skills and legion training.
Even those workers who do not initiate combat may, if not a part of a pacifist guild, fight back if attacked - thus the existence of PASSIVE. See HELP SPECIALS for details of special workerlegion abilities, unique to guilds and/or professions, and how to bring these specialists forth to display their wares.
