Falcons are supposed to be bad!

Crows are smart!

I think we will have unit commanders who can be promoted…by what means we will have to see.

i hope that all units have a named leader, like in shogun and M:TW.

obviously this doesn't suit if you have your general in command of a line infantry unit but perhaps they get promotions as they gain experience and the higher rank they have the greater amount of unis they can command

i mean it would suck pretty badly if your general in command of a full stack took a shot between the eyes right at the start of a battle

Maybe generals can perform a coup d'etat? That would be awesome.

But what would that achieve? If it just made him faction leader, nothing would be different.

Well, it would be a sufficient reward for a general who carved out an empire for king and country that had started with simply 1 region. Or it could be a great way to start a Monarchy out of a Republic.

If I recall right, and i'm not a french historian, I believe that Napolean starts out originally as a Corporal fighting off the French Rebels.

So it would be interesting to see that, and besides someone has to lead the rebels during the revoultions, so why not a famous general.

I'm reasonably certain that Nappy's rise to power will probably be featured prominently in ETW: French Invasion, or whatever they call the Napoleonic expansion.
