Barya depends upon troop synergies and precision movements for success. The faction's mastery of metallurgy and gunpowder isn't enough by itself to stop the forces that stand against it, regardless of how proficient Barya is at researching new technologies and sending their troops into battle with the finest available equipment. Here are some crucial tips for how to win as the Baryan mercenaries.

The key to success as Barya is to make units work together. Units that may be work or average on their own can become powerful when acting alongside complimentary troops. Understanding the ways that units fit together strategically will turn many defeats into victories.

The harima serve as powerful melee units while humans help from the backline, offering the ranged support that the goblinoids need in order to out-bloody their enemies. Though Barya doesn't need magic the way the Barony of Loth does,a combination of Destruction and Order magic is readily available to their Wielders, since Baryan troops generate both times of Essence in significant quantities.

Whereas other units can go a long way by using their small recruitment buildings alone, Barya is forced to rely upon its medium-sized recruitment buildings. Dire Dreaths are powerful, and even ordinary Dreaths can take on most enemies early on, but archers and other ranged units quickly cut them down to size.
