I don't follow this logic. Why is getting community support of an army in a battle any different from getting community support for a HQ? Or getting the clan to back you in a legal case against another clan? There may be modifiers relating to the ability of the community to support a particular action - a Rufelzan demagogue backed by the Glamour mob can take over the city against the Emperor's guard but will lose out to a smart political operator.
