You rally to the attack!

A young soldier cheers.


This is what I picture rallying cry being, but at the moment you can only do it if your blood is already pumping. Could we make it so that you can perform a rallying cry before battle?

I picture it has being something that you shout in the middle of battle when the courage of your men is wavering and it is about to turn into a rout. Rally means to revive or bring into order. Prior to combat, your troops should already be in battle-ready condition.

You can rally before a battle happens. I can name countless movies where a leader will rally the troops before a battle. In IRL rallying happens in both before and during battles. You rally your troops for a cause that they might be reluctant to do in the first place. Which could happen before or during combat.

That wasn't a rally. That was the death cry of a martyr.

Actually, it was both. If you watch the epilogue you will see the rallied army and his sword flying around.
