Hi
I have a question regarding General promotion. When i promote a 2 Star General with seniority 2 and have a 2 Star General with seniority 1 which i don´t promote shouldn´t the General with the higher seniority rating protest and lose seniority points?

Sounds like the way it should be (though note that I'm still learning the promotion/seniority system)). Have you experienced a case where it isn't like that?

I am not 100% sure but this seems like a bug.

sorry Frank, missed this post. Do not hesitate to *bump* posts after one day.
Yes this should work like that, if not, send me the saved game (with the backups) as a single ZIP please, and mention this thread and your nickname.
thanks.

Hi Pocus
sorry but i have delete all my savegames yesterday.
leure: But when you start the ´62 campaign as the CSA you have Bragg with a seniority of 1 and Polk with 2 ( Both are two star Generals). When you promote Polk on the first turn then Brag doesn´t protest.

ok, there is a margin of 4 points allowed, so it is ok in this case. This was too stringent otherwise (but perhaps some would prefer an harder rule?)
The tooltip was missing by the way, I fixed it.

What are the promotion rules exactly? Are there a set number of 2 stars allowed at any one point? I've got a load of 1 star generals I'd like to promote, who are promotable and who have new model ID's when they are promoted, but they are never promotable. Does one need a certain seniority level to be promoted?

no, they need to prove their worth in battle. Most leaders can be promoted to a new rank, if they:
a) gain at least 4 seniority point compared to their base value
or
b) have a seniority of 1 or 2
If they still can't be promoted, then the data base is set like that: they are bound to remain at this rank. The tooltip of the Promote General order has been expanded, depicting the rule, in the new patch.
