Ludwik Pociej, was lithuanian, perhaps his name in that language would be more appropriate.

Liudvikas Pociejus



According to the (google translated) polish wikipedia he was a looter, alcoholic, good cavalry commander, not so good with other branches of the army.

In the game he is a withdrawer

You do know a game is an interpretation, just as your comment is an interpretation? I find it a lot of fun to find how the designer chooses to designate leadership factors.
For instance, no game has gotten Rosecrans leadership qualities right.

Well, just trying to help, so that the game is as historical as possible according to the information available.

In this case the wiki google translated from polish :mdr:

Anyway adding those referred traits is easy for the designers.

Yes...the withdrawer trait was added to most Polish leaders to help them avoiding being systematically crushed in battle by the Swedes. It showed during beta it was a good way to simulate the type of warfare that was seen in Poland by then :papy:

I think we could incorporate stats in this thread aswell.

I start with one, the swedish general Carl Gustaf Armfeldt should be an 3-2-3 in my opinion. As he had great military experience from wars abroad as h e joined the french army for twelve years he was a great defender against the Russians during GNW and also a good offensive commander. He also was appointed commander of the
Finnish part of the Swedish Army so i think he should start or be relocated in Finland.
