What do you mean it "works as designed"? Leaders no longer lose any skill if promoted? Rather easy, isn't it? Who designed that? :wacko:
Hurrah! I can promote all my Lt. Generals with skill 5 to be Field Marshalls with skill 5. This solves all problems. Let's just run an army so every body is a Field Mashall.
No more "stacking" problems! No more "finding leaders" problems. No more "thinking" problems. No more "not enough skill" problems. No problems at all anymore. :laugh:
What a totally absurd "works as designed". It short, now the system does not work at all anymore. You may as well just dispense with leaders completely!
