TA,

Sure, actually this is an Iron rule I did not mention: depending on the faction I play, rules for who may lead my armies are very strict, and no army may launch a major strategic campaign without a top-ranking general. In my current HK campaign, only my current Spartian ruler has the "right" to lead armies into enemy territory. In a previous Carthaginian campaign, generals leading armies were designated "by the senate" for theatres of operations according to role-playing. I wish I could execute them though when they fail me, like it happened IRL... Or something like a carthie-specific trait killing generals after defeats... but i understood there was no way to kill FM so...

Now, since I speak about traits, here is an idea I got during my Carthaginian campaign : could the faction "heir" be the real "faction leader"? I mean this trait would be renamed like "Sophet - This man has been designated for leading the major current operation... bla bla bla...", it would come with bonuses in command recruitment cost etc. This would allow the player to actually designate the current leader of military operations: Hasdrubal during a Sicilian campaign, Mago during a Numidian campaign... When 0.8 comes out, I think I will try to MOD something like that for my carthaginian game and if it works out i'll let the community know
