Hello, Commanders!
As announced on April 11, Commander Quest is preparing a new update. As we promised, a new Commander will soon arrive—searching for a place to ignite.
Commander Selection
Within the development team, we’ve been carefully considering who our next Commander should be. Rather than simply selecting a well-known figure, we wanted someone who truly embodies the unique spirit of Commander Quest.
Looking back, the Commanders we’ve introduced so far have largely been seen as “righteous” figures—Richard I, Saladin, Zhuge Liang, Joan of Arc... Of course, as our in-game description of Richard I clearly states: he was a bad son, a bad husband, and a bad king. Still, on the whole, the Commanders in Commander Quest have carried an image of justice and honor.
So this time, we decided to shift our perspective. We wanted someone rougher, more audacious, and undeniably commanding—someone who could lead the battlefield with a badass presence.
Today, we’d like to share with you the two historical figures our team has narrowed down as candidates.
Genghis Khan
Our first candidate is Genghis Khan. With a legion that galloped from one end of the world to the other, his prowess in warfare and strategy remains unmatched.
From highly mobile cavalry-based tactics, to psychological warfare that penetrated deep into enemy territory and cut off supply lines, to the administrative brilliance that rapidly built an empire—his legacy stands tall among the rulers of history.
The Khan’s legions weren’t just fearsome conquerors—they redefined global order.
If he were to enter Commander Quest, perhaps he would not merely remain a spark, but erupt into a blazing inferno.
Our team was drawn to his ruthless clarity and unwavering control of the battlefield—qualities that exude pure, undeniable badassery.
Attila
The opposing voice in our team put forth Attila of the Huns. As a formidable ruler of the Scythians, Attila struck fear into the heart of ancient Europe and earned the title “Scourge of God.”
He united massive nomadic forces, overwhelming enemies with mobility and surprise. His legacy includes crossing the Danube and laying siege to Constantinople—testaments to both his power and brutality.
Even the Pope himself came to the negotiation table in an attempt to halt his advance. It’s fun to imagine how Attila might clash with a Commander who relies on the Preaching Vice card.
Attila’s campaigns were unpredictable and devastating—like a force of nature. That unpredictability mirrors the very essence of Commander Quest, where outcomes often transcend even a Commander’s foresight in the chaos of auto-battle simulations.
So, Commanders—of these two rulers, which of these two rulers speaks to you more?
What qualities resonate with you the most?
Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments—whether it’s what you liked about these two, or suggestions for other historical figures who wielded true badass power in their time.
