A commandment may be issued by a faction in a province, if the faction controls all settlements in the province. Commandments provide powerful bonuses, and may be issued from the province info panel.
When issued, a commandment won’t apply its effects until the turn is ended. Only one commandment may be active in a province at a time. Issuing a second commandment will cancel the first.
Each race has it's own unique commandments, with a few exceptions:
- Horde factions such as Warriors of Chaos and Beastmen don't control provinces, so they don't use commandments.
- Norsca lacks commandments despite the fact that they can control provinces in the Norscan peninsula.
- Wood Elves lack commandments due to their settlement system.
