Why can't I join him to a recon unit? Is that because there is no such category in BTS?
 
That is intentional - I do not think that would make much sense. You can't join general to recon, aracne, animal, beast and some other units.
Also, heroes & adventurers can't be lead by general.
 
I disagree. Recon units don't have to be single, they can be small, elite recon squads lead by especially gifted men. In movies, all those special forces teams have charismatic leader ;)
 
But then again, generals usually command large armies rather than small units so I guess it makes sense. Recon units can gain arguably better perks from totems.
 
True, but I don't think Great Generals are all generals ;) After all, they can be attached to high tier units (with national limit) and those usually aren't big armies. Great Commander might be better name in fact.
 
you dont think a general is a general :S merry christmas ! :)

great commanders do already exist, though the difference between those isn't really all that noteable!
 
Well, yes. They are great leaders, but not always in military rank of general. Some might be simply charismatic leaders. For example, I don't think Doviello have anything like general rank, just warband chiefs. And some have lower military ranks (Hippus have captains, for example).
 
The question is, why can we join a general to a giant but we can't join it to beastmasters... I don't see a reason for this limit except for the fact that there's no anti-recon promotion.
 
Is it possible to join unit to hill giant? Then I need to disable it, I do not want generals be attcahable to anything but standard military units, siege engines & ships.

In fact, I think FF general model might reflect the real combat better, but I did not try it. Will check it out and perhaps switch to this model.

Talking of changes, does anyone know of mercenary mod that is MP friendly?
I think I will remove expanded mercenaries by wastamasta flash and use soemthing else, as it causes OOS. But no idea yet. If you think any avaliable has better mercenary model than what we have in Orbis, please let me know.
