# Commands

In BLOCKLORDS, commands are essential for directing and optimizing the performance of your squads. They are central to achieving productivity and efficiency on your farm:

* **Role of Commands**: Commands are crucial for guiding your [squads](/game-mechanics/squads.md), ensuring that they carry out their tasks effectively and contribute positively to your farm's growth and resource management.
* **Stamina Requirement**: Every command requires a specific amount of Stamina to be executed. This means that a squad's Stamina level is a key factor in determining how many actions it can perform before needing rest or replenishment.
* **Resource Dependency**: Some commands may also necessitate the use of certain resources to be performed. This adds a layer of strategic resource management, as you need to balance the resources at hand with the actions you wish to execute.
