J.O. Shelby has earned 4 seniority points, at 76 from 80 and I can't promote him. he is located in Cape MO.

Well I do not know how to open a hist, but did you get a message that he is promotable?

Looking at his .mdl file in the GameData models folder he is not set up to promote.
I don't know if this is deliberate but it may be a tradeoff for getting him early as a divisional leader

S!.

I didn't get a message, but has the criteria changed to promote leader? In AACW it was a increase of 4 seniority. He is only a 1 star.

I doubt that JO Shelby gets a promotion. He never commanded more than a division and his promotion to Lt. General came from Kirby Smith, not from Richmond and came in May 65 after Lee had surrendered.

I think you will find that most of the leaders showing up in the Trans-Mississippi will be limited in promotions.

Thank you for the reply. So many changes from AACW, every leader could be promoted back then.

They were not all promotable in the beginning. That was a later change to AACW 1 (it allowed a generic promotion to up to 1 level over their historic rank). Thus, if no model, no promotion.
