I added Team Generals to my multiplayer Napoleonic tactical action browser game, allowing players to control their team's bots using a Total War style RTS camera

This is a multiplayer/singleplayer tactical action game where players are company commanders on-foot controlling a single unit of infantry, cavalry, or artillery (similar to Mount and Blade), with full-scale division v division battles. Shown in this clip is 40 units per team, 3x unit scale, 10,000 bots per team.
At the start of the round, there's a minute long "General Election" phase where players can apply to be the team's general. Whoever is voted in gets to control the team's bots using a Total War style RTS camera! They cannot control player-owned bots, however, only vacant bots. Players can mutiny the general (functions sort of like a votekick, which returns the general back to the battlefield), which triggers a new election. If no players volunteer, the rudimentary bot army controller resumes army control.
It's multiplayer and runs in the browser, and is free. Play it at www.1815online.com, join the discord to follow development at https://discord.gg/Rb9GNp8WB .
