Adding leaders

[Raph]

Hi! I've played a game through from EU2 and Victoria as Scotland, which I want to continue in HOI2D (w/armageddon). My problem is this: Scotland has very few leaders and there's not enough for them to lead all my armies. How do I add more leaders? I tried adding more to the scotland.csv-file in db\leaders, and I tried using the leader editor in the editor.exe, but nothing seems to get them into my converted save game.

What should I do?

You have to add them manually in your current save-game file, because once a country is created the game engine doesn't read anymore "leaders".CSV files.

Okay. Is there a convenient way of doing this without manually making up leaders and putting them there (I guss where I should put them is among the other leaders in the same way as them, if I want them to go to the leader pool)? I need like hundreds of leaders so that'd take forever. I'd be fine with just having, say, 100 generic mj generals with 0 skill, just something other than the nco's that never evolve.

Oh, and I tried just copying some leaders from another save game (from the UK), but that didn't do it either.

If you dont want to add them manually, then you can steal other county's leaders with add_corps command . To do so you have to create an event and to fire it manually (from console: <F12>, event ####). Make sure the leaders you want to steal are currently active in your game. For more information how to do that you can take a look at my messages in this thread.
