We March as One progression, in published sentences

Progression in We March as One is the “Upgrade Your Units” block on the store page, plus the sandbox heading that sits beside it. The guide quotes the whole loop. Units covers painting and why there is no roster. This page only covers gold, recruiting, the skill tree, and what carries into the next battle.

Gold, with no number attached

The store says you earn gold from defeated enemies, whether you win or lose the battle. That is the whole economic rule in print.

It does not say how much gold a defeat is worth, whether a win pays a bonus, or what gold buys besides the recruiting the next bullet describes. Two store screenshots show a coin icon and a figure above a node graph. The figures are not the same in the two frames. This page does not copy either number. A screenshot is not a patch note, and the game was still coming soon.

Recruit, then the tree

The next published step is one sentence: recruit more troops, unlock new unit types from a branching skill tree, and return with a stronger army.

“Branching” is the only structure word. No node name, no branch order, no prerequisite, and no cost is in the about text. Units records the row labels visible on the recruit screenshot and stops there. The panel is visible. The manual is not.

One preparation screenshot shows an Upgrades button beside Levels and Fight. The button is a label in the frame. The store does not define what that screen contains. This page does not invent an upgrade track to match the button.

The army you keep

Fallen troops return for the next battle, so you keep the army you have built. Read next to the gold line, the published loop is: fight, earn gold from what you defeated, keep the troops, recruit and unlock, and take a larger army into another battle.

The store does not say whether a troop returns at the same strength, whether position is saved, or whether a sandbox layout is saved. Those are unanswered. The sentence that does exist is the return itself.

Sandbox is a different heading

Sandbox mode is not inside the upgrade list. The store gives it a separate heading and two lines: a level editor, and room to experiment with unusual army compositions across different battlefield layouts.

That is permission to try compositions. It is not a list of compositions, and it is not a statement that sandbox progress and the battle-to-battle army are the same save. The page does not say. Screenshots include both a plain field and a landscape with a river, which fits “different battlefield layouts” as pictures only.

What would be an invention

• Gold per kill, a starting purse, or a buy price.
• A skill-tree node, a branch order, or a “best first unlock.”
• A level list. One preparation screenshot is marked Level 3, and another frame’s corner reads Level 02. Those captions are in the images. They are not a campaign index.
• A claim about the demo’s economy. App 5403150 has an empty about text, and this site has not played it.

The full game’s store date is still Nov 13, 2026, and on 12 Nov 2026 coming_soon was true. After unlock, the client wins over this page.
