My observation so far has been that you start with historic figures as your generals and government ministers, but any new ones will be picked from a pool of generic names.
It seems the pool is shared for all kind of characters, so 'Radulf Kellerman' (austrian faction) can turn out to be a general, rake, bishop or your justice minister.
It's a bit of an immersion breaker for me, as in the beginning you have generals (using Austria as example) like:
- Prinz Eugen von Savoyen (famous hero of the Turkish war)
- Guido von Starhemberg (cousin of the well-known Ernst v. Starhemberg who lead the defence of Vienna)
- Ludwig Wilhelm von Baden-Baden (yet another leader vs. the turks, called Türkenlouis, never lost a battle)
and later end up with guys having "Max Müller/John Doe" type names.
The ability to rename generals would be nice indeed.
