All Generals Promotable Mod (Need testers)

I've set up a mod that creates new models for almost every general in the game for both sides. which means that every general should now be promotable to 3 star level. The only generals not eligible are a couple of the CSA raiders like Moseby and Stand Waite. Problem is, I'm getting slammed at work, and don't have a ton of time to test it to make sure it works as designed. It seems to, but like I said, it'll require some time to see if it's working as designed. Would anyone care to volunteer as a guinea pig to test this out for me? If you do, just make sure you're updated to 1.11a (I spent two days trying to figure out why I was getting errors before Gray Lensman hinted that I probably wasn't fully updated :bonk: )

Attached for easier distribution. Includes a readme file, but it's simple to install. Leave me feedback on how it performs, good or bad. I should have some time to do a bit of work on it, if needed, just not much to test it.

Can this be inserted into an ongoing game, or must one start anew?

I would recommend starting a new game. Also, since I forgot to put it in the readme...make sure you back up your files that are being replaced. :)

Havent had time to do more than load it, which it does fine. Log shows the same as vanilla.

new 111a installation using modpath

I downloaded it 2 days ago and have been using it on a new campaign. So far so good. The only thing I noticed is David Farragut won't promote to three star admiral, and Andrew Foote won't promote beyond 1 star. It still gives me the option to promote every turn on them though. They just won't promote. Thanks for the mod!!!

I didn't mess with the admirals at all, this was just for the land units. Didn't see much need to mess with the admirals since we don't have to worry about using them to form armies and corps and such. Not sure why there's an issue with them. Have to check into this.

Thanks. I have promoted them a couple times and the rank never changed. However, its not a big deal. Everything else has worked great.
