[edit] Walkthrough
Follow Tactician Haj's directions in using flags to direct your Heroes to each Area when asked. The flags are located on your compass at the bottom and there is a flag for each individual Hero as well one for the entire group. By clicking on a flag, you have selected that Hero, or group. You then move your cursor over the compass map and it will change to a green flag. To place the flag where you want, just click inside the compass map. While you are standing on the center podium, Tactician Haj has you command your group to take Area One, Two and Three respectively. There are two very easy to dispose of Razorback Skale at Area Two and Three. When each areas' "bar" changes from red to blue, you now control that area. Once you have all three, Tactician Haj has you and your party return to Area One to complete the training. You disable the flags by doule-clicking the flag button for that Hero or group. See First Spear Dehvad in the city for your reward.
Be sure to look for Area signs. Hold down Ctrl-button to light up the yellow signs that say Area One, Area Two...etc. If you still cant find the Area signs use the map and look for the flags on it a red flag is one of the areas captured by the enemy a Grey flag is an area that is not controlled by anyone and a blue flag is an area you are controlling.
There is an NPC named Wounded Villager with an unknown condition. If one of your heroes has a condition removal skill, they will move out of the flag capture area to attempt to remove it; however, it will be reapplied immediately following.

[edit] Dialogue
[edit] Initial dialogue
- First Spear Dehvad
As a Sunspear you never fight alone. So, to be effective, you must learn to command those fighting with you on the field of battle. There are many new lessons to master. Command training will teach you the techniques you need to know to make tactical decisions during the heat of the battle. We can only provide you with the tools. What you do with them will determine your fate. When you are ready, report to Tactician Haj in Churrhir Fields to commence your training.
Accept: "Right away!"
Decline: "I think I need some more time."
Ask: "Tactician Haj is waiting for you in Churrhir Fields."
[edit] Intermediate dialogue
- Tactician Haj
Welcome back to Churrhir Fields, [Character Name]. Let me know when you are ready and I will separate you from your squad so you can learn to issue them commands.
- Tactician Haj: "Arrayed around you are three areas to control. By issuing commands to your squad during this training session, you will capture these various areas under different circumstances."
- Tactician Haj: "You must destroy all enemies surrounding an area to begin capturing it. Moving you or your squad outside the area will halt the capture process."
- Tactician Haj: "To manually move your Heroes, use target flags. Target flags let you select a position in the world for your Heroes. Attached to your compass, you will find up to four flag buttons."
- Tactician Haj: "To place a flag, click on the flag button and then click on the compass or somewhere in the world. Placing a flag causes the Hero to regard that location as "home.""
- Tactician Haj: "Keep in mind that while Heroes are moving to a new location they will not execute any skill commands until after they reach the location set by the flag unless the flag is cancelled or otherwise overridden."
- Tactician Haj: "Now use your squad to capture area one."
On capture of *Area One:
- Tactician Haj: Now use your squad to capture areas two and three."
On capture of all areas:
- Tactician Haj: "Very well done! Talk to me if you need any more information about commanding your squad."
[edit] Reward dialogue
- First Spear Dehvad
Looks like you made out in one piece. If you have any questions about commanding your squad during battle, Tactician Haj will be happy to answer them.
