Description of issue
[1.5.0] [9515] - Promoting General to FM does not reduce skill by 1

Game Version
Walking the Tiger

Enabled DLC
All of the above

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Description
When promoting a general a dialog desribes that he will loose 1 skill point. I assume that is the actual skill for combat tatics and not the Attack/defense/planning/logistics skill.
When promoted there is a 100 day penalty to 1 skill on attack/defense/planning/logistics.
I am not sure this is a bug (but in previous version a general promoted to FM lost 1 skill), but if not the tooltips are being very unclear and confusing describing skill level that can mean 2 different things.

Steps to Reproduce
Promote a general, eg Yamashita as Japanese to Field Marshall. Yamashite has skill level 5. This it not reduced to 4 when promoted despite the "warning" dialog says he will.

The debuff is working as designed however the warning while promoting needs to be changed, I'll pass it along. Thanks for the report!
