I noticed there is a trophy for adding calvary, infantry, ranged, artillery, non Combat to an army but I added the 4 assuming the commander is the 5th but nothing happened. I noticed there is 2 locked spots. How do I do this? And what would be the non combat? An Explorer or something?
 
Also there is one for having multiple improvement tracks fully completed on the commander. I am not the biggest warmonger but I just barely finished the assault track and can't imagine finishing 3 of them...

Yes, it seems the locked slots are for civilian units (settlers, missionaries, etc).

I had two and a half paths complete on one of mine. Remember, the commanders literally live forever. You have the entire game to keep them out in the field!

Thanks I had a suspicion. Guess I will have to try again!

There is a commander promotion to unlock those 2 slots.
 
There's a promotion in the second tier of logistics to increase the army size to 6, and a commendation (you get those from reaching the bottom of a tree, not necessarily competing it) that expands the radius of the commander's buffs to two tiles.

So THAT'S how you get commendations. It was driving me nuts figuring that out and the Civilopedia has no information on it.

Are commendations applied to all your commanders or just one? I seem to remember accidentally getting a commendation in one playthrough (the one that increases command radius) and it seemed to apply to all current and future commanders.

It's just the one. So is the answer to my original question that civilian can just be slotted over the lock or do you need to unlock it with logistics first?

Just the one. Each commander is distinct.

Maybe your commander was KO'd and came back, and you thought it was a different one?

I swear I had a full army and was still able to add a civilian. Now I'll need to test it.
 
So I have the two slots unlocked and have everything in the army except a civilian unit because none will get added. What am I missing? Missionary djdnt work, neither does explorer.
 
I haven’t tested extensively, but I can’t manually add. I must use the “vacuum” button on the commander.

Or maybe my brain is just fried from 40 hours of Civ 7.
