What is the max skill level a commander can reach and is this level different for for generals and field marshalls, like can generals reach up to level 10 while field marshalls only can get up to 6?
Because you would need to formulate all plans on all fronts and all divisions with this one Mega Field Marshal. This would be a cluster fxxx to control and manage.Since recruiting Generals cost 150 Political Power, why shouldn't you just recruit one Field Marshal where you put in all your divisions? Especially if you have a Field Marshal with Logistical Wizard (which would end up in 20% less consumption of all divisons you have), Thoroug Planner (50% planning bonus for all battle plans) and Inspirational Commander (10% Moral for all units), which would make it a very, very good commander for all divisions. Also the saved Politcal Power can then spend on something else, like good manufactures or ministers.
Generals give a direct bonus for divisions fighting in specific terrain. (Their traits.)I don't yet understand when to use a general and when a field marshal besides the 12 divsions limit. Both are assigned to 1 army each, right? The restriction for an army is: 1 <= size <= infinity.
Let's say country A has 1 perfect field marshal and a bunch of mediocre generals. What keeps me from assigning all 150 divisions I might have to 1 army which is lead by that 1 field marshal?
In the screenshot the British Theatre contains 1 army of 58 divisions lead by 1 field marshal.
What benefit do you have from utilizing generals at all? Are their traits better?
Only one. So either of them.Can an army have both an assigned field marshal and an assigned general or only one or the other?
Divisions will get a standard name as such: {number of the division} + {Name of the Template}. 1. Infanterie Division or 8. Fighting Eagle. (What ever you want to name the template)Are divisions nameable? and can I prioritise equipment for specific divisions?
Will we not have a need to manually assign reinforcement priorities for specific divisions? If not that's great, otherwise it could force players to make armies with a single division just to be able to prioritise reinforcement?

division leaders are gone. Only these two remain.might have been answered elsewhere, But are Fm and Generals the only leaders we can asign or are there still lower lvl leaders to asign to each division and Batalions just like we had in HOI3?
Because it will be quite hard to set, for example with Germany, all your divisions under 1 army commanded by one good FM and order this army to defend France while attacking Russia on the other side and fighting in North Africa.
I think I would use Field Marshals for the majority of the army and especially the infantry for saving supplies and defensive plus planning bonus.Generals give a direct bonus for divisions fighting in specific terrain. (Their traits.)
Field Marshals are Staff officer (as I understood.). Their bonus are more for long engagement, where they provide broader bonuses.
An Example i could think of would be Stalingrad. Make an Army with 5 divisions and assign a General with Urban Assault. That may give you a better fighting chance, than the broader bonuses from a Field Marshal.
It should be in.Can generals be generated in-game to make up for a lack of historical generals?
This is a feature that has been requested since HOI1.
