Captain

Unit Overview
In both Classic and Regicide game modes the Captain fills the equivalent role of the King in Chess. The role of the King in Regicide is somewhat different to in Chess.

The Captain is a unique individual. Proven heroes among ranks of superhuman warriors, they are tasked with responsibility for their brothers and leadership on the battlefield. The best wargear is available to them, including finely-crafted Artificer Armour.

The King is a moderately powerful piece able to move in any direction like the Queen, but only a single square at a time. Threatening the enemy King with a capture that it cannot escape from is the entire objective of the game. A King cannot be voluntarily moved into a square that is threatened by an enemy piece. If he is ‘in check’ (in a position to be captured), the player’s move must remove this condition by either moving the King away, blocking the path of capture with another piece, or eliminating the threatening piece. If you cannot prevent a capturable position with any legal move, the game is lost!
