3 articlesAs you progress through Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, you’ll notice that the Crusade Battles will become more and more intense. This will eventually force you to perfectly position each unit.
However, you might notice the game doesn’t tell you how you can merge or split your armies. If you’re stuck trying to figure that out, this guide is for you.
How to Merge Armies in Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous
After buying units in one of your cities, they will form an army. This army can be moved on the world map, and once two armies will occupy the same space at the same time, you’ll be able to merge them.
Now, you should notice a purple arrow next to the army’s name. Click it to open the army screen of both armies, allowing you to move each unit between them.

Well, that’s because keeping your strongest units together is usually more effective than spreading them across several small armies.
During Crusade Mode, stronger armies can defeat higher-ranked demon forces more consistently. Meanwhile, weaker armies are more likely to suffer heavy losses.
If you can’t move a unit into another army, check whether your General has enough Master of Maneuver ranks. This feat determines how many different unit stacks an army can command, so you may need to level your General before adding another troop type.
Moving and Splitting Armies
You can use the left mouse button to move individual units between armies, or press one of the arrows to transport all the units from one army to the other.
If you deplete one army of all units, it’ll disappear from the world map. But, you can also use the arrow button on the right side of your existing army to split the army into two, allowing you to manually decide what units will each of the armies consist of.
When you transfer troops between two armies, both forces will end up with the lower remaining movement value of the two.
Due to this, it’s usually better to finish any planned movement before merging armies, especially if you’re trying to reach a nearby demon army or fortification during the same day.
Splitting Individual Units
As you’ve probably noticed, the soldiers of one type always stack into one unit. But, you can also split a unit into multiple ones, by holding the shift button and left-clicking on it. This can have a lot of tactical applications.
For example, a few units of infantry can form a line covering the archers on the back of the battlefield.
However, while splitting units is useful for certain tactical situations, you can get the best results by keeping your strongest ranged units together in large stacks. After all, larger stacks tend to deal significantly more damage than several smaller ones.
Moreover, when recruiting reinforcements, don’t forget that dragging a unit stack onto another stack of the same type will combine them into a single, stronger unit.
Final Thoughts
And that’s pretty much how you can merge your armies in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. It’s a simple but important part of managing your Crusade efficiently.
This way, you can keep your strongest units together so you can take on tougher demon armies without incurring heavy losses.
