Some questions about RUS

I've been playing the game often and on, and have always had some questions about some things:

Divisions
How do you create them? I've tried creating them in an army, and tried removing them from the army and hitting the division box. Neither seem to work.

Naval Units
If transports are put into naval boxes, do they increase supply? I find the fleets to be generally worthless except for bombarding and transporting units.

Replacements
What generates replacements? Cities/Towns?

Lowering leader deaths
I suspect that lowering this requires modding the game. Is this easy to do?

Thanks you in advance!

As for divisions, you go to the leader in question you want to turn into a division commander, then click the button. Afterwards, you select the leader and all the units you want to add and click the respective + symbol to form the division up. Make sure that the leader and the nationalities of the troops you picked are compatible! As for transports, I'm not sure. Fleets are rather useful indeed for bombing, especially on the Volga, to control troop movements along the river.

For replacements, you have to build them - press F2 to access the respective screen. When you hover over a chit, it should tell you how much of what it costs to build one replacement chit for that respective unit.

Hope that helped and that others can help you with the rest!

Fleets are good to transport troops and prevent enemy troops from crossing rivers. Also can Bombard, but damage is small.

Replacements.
You need to build them and spend money, manpower and supply resources.

Those resources are generated in Objective cities or by events or by your Regional decisions.

It takes a while for replacements to reach regiments that need reinforcement.

Thanks Owl! I left out a step in forming the division. The rest is good information!

If you want to give a leader the immortality, chose the ones .mdl files in the repository .../Program Files (x86)/Revolution under Siege/RUS/GameData/Models/, then erase the line with "CombatDeathChance", which look like this most of the time :
CombatDeathChance = 100

But are you sure they deserve it ? They claimed they were ready to die for their cause :D
