Increasing command

All very good points. Also, I've heard people making reference to leaving your FM in a city with a school in it for a few years before sending them out to battle. Is that likely to make them more able to learn generalship in the field? -Mulceber

Yeah, that definitely does make a difference...my current Faction Leader has never fought a battle but has considerable command ability as a result of his underlying characteristics and his long-standing FL status. But I still think, logically, that battlefield experience will go a long way towards making a legendary general.

My drunken, womanizing, narcissistic, foul-mouthed, disloyal SOB Appius Gallicus has made a career out of butchering many an enemy in the field...despite his rather abysmal managerial skills and his complete inability to exert any influence within the Roman governmental system, his battlefield leadership is second to none -- and he recently marched through Rome after receiving his Triumphus.
