Several of my generals have already volunteered for this assignment. Britain however, asks that in return, Xi'an signs a free trade and DP agreements in order to ensure further cooperation and prosperity between our two great nations.
A list of the top 3 generals that wish this assignment will be up soon, so that you may choose which one you wish.
TK- Will there be any In game effects of generals and such besides roleplay? Perhaps after a certain amount of battles and exp, a General/Admiral appears, or we would have to invest IC in a building that would produce them every 2-5 turns?

I will purchase it.
updated orders (disregard the last one completly):
3 into Saskatewan.
1 into purchasing Yukon from Oregon (giving the ic to Oregon in exchange for Yukon)
2 into factory in Ontario
We wish to inform the possible candidates that we will be only accepting two generals for this job, each preferably from a different country.
This choice will be based on skills too, so, possible candidates should do what Britain is doing, and list them out with their ages and their experience (i.e. battles fought, war participated in, etc.).
As for the benefits of signing up a general for this job, we will not sign any agreements over trade or alliances at the moment. But, once we begin trading with the world, we will give your nation some, well, extra "benefits" to doing so that other nations won't have.
As a note, we won't begin trading until we have secured a port that is under our total control. We do not want to have to deal with all the tariffs and other complications by using a foreign port to conduct trade.
EDIT: The general will be chosen sometime soon (9 or 10 o'clock tonight central time), so as to let the possible candidates put forward their information, and possibly widen the pool of candidates.

General George Anson, veteran of the Napoleonic Wars, and an expert in Cavalry and how to defeat Infantry from atop a Horse.
Field Marshal Alured Clarke, knowledgable of eastern cultures as he oversaw large parts of India at one point in time and conducted affairs with chinese militaries often, and an able administrator. Maybe not the best tactician, but the very best at logistics and organizing an army beforehand.
Major General Isaac Brock, veteran of the War of 1812 (he didnt die in this timeline), expert administrator of militia like troops, and great infantry tactician. he is the best of the three with any new technology and tactics that are appearing, as most are stuck in the old ways.
Also, The Duke Of Wellington has volunteered to observe, advise, and possibly even directly help in the training of your army. The level of support he will offer depends on whether you will let him recruit Chinese soldiers for his Commando group that he is forming. All he asks is for 6 Chinese willing soldiers be picked and shipped off to Britain. If this is not met, he will stick to advising any other Generals that are picked. if it is met, then he will directly offer up his services.
Needless to say, he is by far the most talented and experienced General we have to offer at the moment, and it is a sign of good will from the crown that His majesty is letting the duke volunteer such services.

General Hekmatyar II
Age: 57
Son of the famed general who lead the combined Afghani tribes to victory against the invaders during the Long War. The son himself is responsible for crushing the cross-border raiders in Punjab after the East India Company collapsed. He, of course, studied at the same military schools that teach Napoleonic tactics. However, his use intelligence and clandestine military action, combined with larger, strategic movements, is what enabled him to crush the warlords effortlessly. In other words, he can teach your force the same tactics and stratagems that will be used in any army in Europe while teaching idea,s tactics, and strategies that he gained during the Punjab Border War. Very few Europeans can teach asymmetric warfare like Hekmatyar.

Prince Friedrich Wilhelm Heinrich August of Prussia/Germany
Military career:
August joined the (then) Prussian military at the age of 18, in 1803 he had advanced to the rank of Major, and was granted an infantry battalion of his own. He and his battalion took part in the Battle of Auerstedt, against Napoleonic France, in 1806. In March 1808, his cousin, King Frederick William III of Prussia, made him brigadier general. The Prince spent the next five years reorganizing the Prussian artillery together with Gerhard von Scharnhorst. Seven years after the failure of the Prussian army in Auerstedt, the Prince distinguished himself in the Battle of Leipzig. He continued his campaign against Napoleon throughout 1814. In the winter 1814-1815, Augustus attended the Congress of Vienna. He moved to the north of France in June 1818 and then back to Berlin after the war had ended.
As seen by his various experiences he can teach your army European Army Tactics which have proved to be the most useful ones in creating large empires. He also can help train cavalry men and artillerists for your army.

I'm willing to accept this deal, but I want to hear from Quebec first.

Challenging Fate
"Friends, Romans, Country Men", said the general in Anarka to the citizens. "The world is against us. The Bonsians refused our claims to Constantinople, and declared war on us. The Entire Muslim community followed suit, and even France, until-then our ally, backstabbed us. However, we will perish from the earth before even thinking to disgrace our Imperial tricolor. Rome was born again from the ashes just 10 years ago, and we will not allow it to die again! Everyone who thinks their life is more valuable than country may leave the city now. The rest of you will be recieving a musket and training. The Muslims and Frogs will be pushing the gates any time soon, so speed is of the essance. And remember, brave citizens, we will either be remembered as victors, or we will be remembered as corspes!"

Sir Robin Longstride moved among the ranks of men in the hall. Until a Barracks could be built, this was the best that the Royal Army could be given. Already, they had a company of Artillery Guns built. Howitzers, 100 times better than the ones used in the Napoleonic wars. They fired faster, packed a heavier punch, made bigger booms, and could be transported way faster. Not only that, but a new Rifle design had recently come in, and the few prototypes they had showed they were excellent, and well worth the money.
The men however, were a different story. They were undisciplined. Only allowed to recruit youth from between the ages of 17-25, they had a hard time finding volunteers now that the Empire was gone, and military Glory was no more. The Parliamentary plan called for 20,000 men, but so far after 3 months they only had 2,500. A Brigade of men. Guess that made him the Brigadier. He sure as hell didnt feel like one.
Still, he had Ace battalion, and within that, Glory Company. Ace battalion was the battalion mixed in with some volunteer veterans of the older wars. Mere teenagers then, but they still have the shooting skills, and the discipline. Beneath that you have Glory Company, almost totally comprised of the best veterans and enthusiastic youths, who are green, but nonetheless great shots. In Glory Company, you have Badass Platoon. All are former criminals and members of terroristic groups, and all have now pledged to Sir Robin himself due to various reasons. Robin Squad, is made up of 10 men, led by Robin himself. These men do the dirtiest work, kill the most enemies idiot enough to come close, see the worst things, and always come home.
But will they be enough to defeat the Romans when it counts?
This is just a piece of narrative to hint at our future actions. Read it and feel true fear. The Royal Army is rising from its grave, better than ever before. And this is not quality writing, just a quick type up.
