I have been wondering about this for AACW as well:
In the Model "mdl" files one either has "LeaderRank = 1", "LeaderRank = 2" or "LeaderRank = 3" and correspondingly in the Faction "fac" file one can find "LeaderRank1 = Brigadier General", "LeaderRank2 = Major General", "LeaderRank3 = General". Now leaders usually seem to have up to 3 "mdl" files (and 3 corresponding Unit "uni" files) when they are promotable.
Now would it be possible to change this structure and add a new ranking system like the following:
For the CSA in the "fac" file:
"LeaderRank1 = Brigadier General" (one star)
"LeaderRank2 = Major General" (two stars)
"LeaderRank3 = Lieutenant General" (three stars)
"LeaderRank4 = General" (four stars)
For the USA in the "fac" file:
"LeaderRank1 = Brigadier General" (one star)
"LeaderRank2 = Major General" (two stars)
"LeaderRank3 = Major General" (three stars)
"LeaderRank4 = General" (four stars)
and then create one additional model "mdl" file for leaders that start as one star generals and are promotable up to four star generals. Would that work? Or would one have to make additional changes? Or is that impossible due to engine restrictions?
Any insights would be appreciated,
