FfH2 Great General does not spawn

[Dhavos]

Hi,

I searched forum and didnt find answer. I am playing FfH2 with Calabim civ. I am wondering why great general does not spawn in my city. I read it should be autmatic if I have enough experience. Under military advisor under combat experience I have 391/45

I think that's just a feature of FFH2. Instead, there are Great Commanders that you would get like other Great People.

How can it be turned on? is it an XML hack or deep within the .dll?

@Dhavos:

As ElMikkino said, FfH does not have the Great General mechanism that was introduced in Warlords. Instead, there are Great Commanders, which are generated in cities the same as other Great People.

Certain buildings (e.g., Basilica, Command Post) and wonders (e.g., Form of the Titan, Ride of the Nine Kings) provide Great Commander points, but there aren't very many, so getting a Great Commander can be pretty rare. Also, the first civ to research Military Strategy receives a Great Commander.

There's some info in the civilopedia entry for Great Commander, which might be helpful.

@Jabie:

I have no idea how the feature can be turned on. Unlike FfH, Fall Further generates Great Commanders from combat, so it's doable, but I'm not a programmer so I wouldn't know how.

Give a unit (CIV4UnitInfos.xml) iLeaderExperience above zero or a LeaderPromotion. You probably have to start a new game for the change to take effect. Enjoy your great generals.
