His strategies usually involved intense cooperation between differing groups and were most effective when clear communication lines between legions were available. Despite this, however, he was not afraid to act on his own. For example, once suspicions that a spy had infiltrated the Liberation Army became known, Mathiu made sure that his plans became shrouded in mystery. In fact, Tir McDohl, leader of the Liberation Army, was caught by surprise when Mathiu announced his intention to attack the [[Northern Checkpoint]].

However, a weakness of these strategies could be the lack of long-term planning. This showed itself most clearly with his plan for the surrender of Kasim Hazil, which involved allowing the [[City-~~States~~ of Jowston]] to overrun the [[Senan]] region<ref>"It is likely that the City-State will temporarily occupy this region. But the Liberation Army will permit no more than that." - Mathiu Silverberg ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> Although this proved effective in forcing the surrender of Kasim Hazil, it also forced the [[Toran Republic]] to go to war with Jowston immediately after its formation, which soured relations with its northern neighbours at once.
