skill 1 can easily become skill 2....

Germans have penty of leaders that are 2+ skill to ever need using a skill 1 major (which all but 1 of these sleepers are), this event just helps shorten the list of leaders to easy the process of scrolling the leader list by the skill or rank options.

i know this is an old thread, but what is the sleep old guard event?

It's an event that removes all (German) generals with the Old Guard-trait:
Code:

event = {

Sadly, I still see two old guards left in my german leader file after this. How do I find these bastages and add them to the file? :D

If u haven't noticed, this thread was posted over six monthes ago, so thats before 1.3a came out, and definitely before the new hotfix. However the sleep old guard event takes out about 90% of the old guard after the latest patch, so its still worth it.

Why do you care about the old guards enough to remove them? isn't an old guard just the same as any other leader without any special abilities such as offensive /defensive ? In which case why don't you just remove leaders without special skills too?

Old Guard means they gain experience more slowly so it is actually worse than a leader with no special abilities.

It does not, however, mean that these oldies aren't useful anymore... some Old Guard leaders seem to have some skill at least. I usually let them command my home defences once the war has started - crack generals at the front, and grandpa guarding their backs. Why throw them away?

Because the major nations have such huge numbers of leaders you will never need to use the Old Guards unless you put one general per division. Reducing the number of leaders makes the leader choice menu load quicker and cuts down the time to find the leader you want.

Still, there are quite some Old Guard leaders who are far more competent than their younger counterparts...

But if you use the younger ones instead they will quickly surpass the skill the Old Guard would have had. If you use the Old Guard the younger ones will never gain the skill you will need them to have later. If the war was only going to last a year then it might not matter. In HoI1 some people also removed all low-skill, low-rank leaders who lacked useful special traits.
