Generals

**Majasprat** · 09-08-2014, 01:10

I have noticed that generals never seem to rank up. They never get a command star no matter how much you use them or how successful they were. I know that the stars are mostly for auto resolve but they never seem to get positive traits either. If they do it is overshadowed by extremely negative ones. The AI doesn't seem to have this problem though. I just think that the generals would be more memorable if they became truly great after years of conquest and victory. That said a certain Magorix that unified England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland almost singlehandedly has stayed in my memory. (despite not having high confidence or command) Hope that doesn't sound like I am complaining, the game is great I just think this should be addressed in the next release. :)

This is an issue we are looking into and will hopefully have fixed soon. In the meantime there is a submod another fan has made that makes things a little better.

It does improve this aspect, but it also seems to have done something to Coming of Age and marriage suitors. The former always seem to be Sharp/Uncharismatic/Langorous, and the latter always Sharp/Charismatic/Vigorous.

Yeah I am trying that now. Can anyone provide me with the original script for it? I forgot to back it up

Hope you guys also check the loyalty issue... 90% of my generals/ chars are useless.

Funny, I'm not having any issues whatsoever with loyalty. Whether that's because I'm playing on Medium campaign difficulty, or I killed off a bunch of my extraneous FMs right at the start, I don't know.

Really? Mine are total useless and if i send them somewhere they will rebel asap...

I keep them all in "house arrest" at my capital. They only go out to fight.

If you keep them in your capital when your faction leader isn't around, that actually reduces their loyalty further (representing nobles scheming at court while the ruler is away). This applies to all factions except Rome.

I find it's best to send them to a nearby settlement as a governor- the chances of successfully bribing a settlement in M2TW is very, very low, to the point of being negligible. Also, generals cannot rebel while they're in a settlement.

I had a Sweboz diplomat repeatedly attempt to bribe one of settlements managed by a 1 loyalty general. He was not successful.

The older, more competent ones are dispersed out to govern things, the younger ones are in the capital with the Faction Leader, unless I need one to play general. I pretty much never use my FL as a general, they stay parked in the capital running things.

I've not yet had a single FM rebel in almost 400 turns of play (three different games).
