Limit who is trained by your marshal

[babuchas1]

Please, add a system to limit who is trained by your marshal when you use the "improve commander" task. I am tired of him/her wasting time improving random courtiers with 0 marshal and no martial education that will NEVER lead an army, and completely ignoring the commanders and knights that actually fight in wars. And this happens 75-80% of the time, making "improve commanders" kind of useless (or at least much worse than it should be).
Thank you.

There is a system:
Only your knights gets blademaster or prowess.
Getting commander traits or martial prefers courtiers/vassals who don't have a commander trait the marshal has + martial education, then martial education then non-martial. (They are only in the list if they can be taught more commander traits)

Atleast, that is how I read the code in marshal_task_events.

Then why do they not keep training my knights to improve prowess instead of teaching military strategy to a 70 years old grandma, with 0 martial and no martial education, that will never see a battle? I think the system needs some adjustments.

Because you don't have enough good knights to fill up your list and you allow the 70 years old grandma with 0 martial to serve as one. This is something that is entirely within your control.

Thank you for the answer, but no. I have more than enough good fighters to fill the number of knights, and the 70 years old grandma is not in the list of knights. So that is not the reason, unfortunately.

The reason for this is because of yet another bad-in-hindsight decision to remove the commander slots from the game. Not only would commander slots solve this issue, it would also cut down on the number of unwanted people in the Assign Army Commander panel, and would also allow you to keep commanders from entering the wandering pool if you didn't also want them to be knights.

The list of knights and the list of potential commanders are two separate things in two different events. I agree it would be nice to have a bit more influence over who gets the commander event. @x4077 has a great point.
