Commander-in-Chief or Supreme Commander is the title given to the leader of an enormous army or the chief of military affairs who presides over a state's overall military command. The only ones who they answer to are the King and the Royal Court.
Selection[]
The commander-in-chief is traditionally either a general or Great General appointed by the king and his war council. There are exceptions to a commander-in-chief being either a handpicked general or the supreme commander of the kingdom's military such as experienced strategists or even political leaders.
Duty[]
The commander is not only placed in charge of the army's various generals but can delegate other military commanders to function as executives or deputy generals.
Succession[]
In the event that the commander is killed or otherwise indisposed, another general is sometimes chosen to act as a temporary commander-in-chief.
