HttT: Generals and Admirals

[Bananson]

It isn't truly realistic, though. If it were, you'd find all the best officers show up toward the ends of wars, which isn't at all the pattern. In game terms, it's hard to see how the American Revolution produced enough tradition to give Napoleon, Davout, Nelson, Wellington, Blucher, & Suvorov. Just to name a few. And Portugal came out with da Gama, Albuquerque, & Almeida BEFORE she "earned" them in EUIII terms.

There are many such examples.

That's why I made up my own leader events. More trad give you more leaders, & only that makes better ones more likely.

How about Joan d'Arc?

Military Tradition works fine for me. Although what I don't understand is why leaders don't gain skills on battlefield.

Thanks!!

Excellent and enlightening comments, thanks to all who contributed.
I have a deeper understanding of how you can generate military leaders without paying for them.
Maybe more options wouldn't hurt, but it's clear there is a wealth of options for the player to choose from.
Thanks again!

I will be posting an updated, mostly leaders-only version of my mod. But God knows when, with the time of year & all.

If you can hire mercenary troops, why not buy some leaders? It was done all the time.

Sorry but... What options? Are you just talking about mods here? Then it's of course possible to have nearly an infinite amount of options but if you talk about in the game itself there is only one option (besides the extremely rare event).
