Dynasty Warriors 4/Strategy Type

Officers in Dynasty Warriors 4 are given a designated strategy which determines how well they can fight other characters when controlled by the computer. When facing an equally strengthed opponent on their own, the unit's strategy type acts as the deciding factor between victory or defeat (which may or may not tie into morale via independently or through overall forces). Unlike unique characters, all NPC officers use normal strategies.
