They also have access to Banners, Runes and Marks of Chaos which can be carried around and assigned to units in their army before a battle. In the Grand Campaign, Lords can be equipped with Items and Followers which provide them with abilities, attributes and stat bonuses. When a Lord levels up, they gain a skill point to unlock new abilities on their skill tree. They can also gain experience points through battle and level up.
