I have played a lot of hours in various scenarios and have yet to see my 1st leader promotion opportunity. Is that feature enabled in the current set of scenarios?
Thanks.

Thank you for the quick reply. Since promotions are covered in the manual are they a possibility for future scenarios or is it the case that the manual was written before all the final game decisions were made? I really enjoyed that feature in your other titles. Perhaps in the future a game option choice?
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
I think it is a good choice to avoid promotion from ** to ***, because of historical reasons. Generals who commanded armies were invested with the Imperium, usually they were the consuls of the yerar. BUT, I don't see such a problem with a * general doing very well at battle and deserving a promotion by merit...

have you played the Civ50 scenario as Caesar?
if you take out some legion as Reserve in Italy and few others to cover objectives (if below 50% loyalty) then nearly every legion has its own commander.
you can even use sea-commanders as land and land-commanders as sea commander. if the Aux wouldnt be, the command penalty would be neglectable
SENIORITY is doing fine, no need to more generals in most scenarios. but i would wish more of these random events, commanders entering for political service are gone and exchanged

PS:
historically the commander of units, i.e. on Pompeis side, had often even the low the rank of praefectus etc. few had been senator or had at least the social position as a "knight".
they had their career BEFORE they could lead any force, afterwards there are only the higher ranks in the cursus honorem (like peoples tribun), which are a prerequisite for the rank of praetores for instance.
so any movement inside the hierarchy was bound to exact rules and most of them had higher ranks before they came in the position to get a picture in AIE.
the maximum degree to one can change it, would be a certain number of ** at the same time, i think
