Playing MTW and trying to keep my General's engaged in the battle. I have successfully expanded my empire to where I now have eliminated most hostile nations from Europe and Asia. I am trying to keep some of those Generals in Europe - "in practice", but to cart them to Africa takes a while, as I still don't own the seas.

Does the game differentiate between types of battle - example if I fight an invading neighbor or attack a neighbor - is it the same value to my generals as if I supress a faction that has risen?

My thought is that I can raise taxes, incite a rebellion, supress it, and continue to gain stats for some key generals. Or should I just march them across the many provinces?

Thanks. Vajk
