Hello everyone! So right now I am playing as Carthage at war with Rome, I have 4 decent generals, skill level 7 or higher. I am finding I have Governors with equal or greater skill levels and decide to sack them from their current jobs in order to then make them generals. However when I look at the list of available generals the former governors aren't listed. Why is this? Any fix for this issue? Thanks!

In republics (like Carthage), a character needs to be a Praetor or Consul (or equivalent) before they can be a general. Appoint a high-Martial character to the civic tech position for about a year before resigning them and they'll appear in your general pool.

Thank you for the information, it was really frustrating not knowing why I couldn't assign those men as generals, its true, i MUST have an 8 plus general, the whole war depends on it.
