Here is a small mod for the primary purpose of maxing US Generals out at Maj General (except for Grant who can still go to Lt gen) and allowing Maj Gens to lead armies
Install:
1. Backup - CW2 > GameData >Models
2. Backup - CW2 > Graphics > Armies&Fleets
3. Backup - CW2 > Graphics > NATOSymbols
4. Backup - CW2 > Settings
5. Unzip File and copy CW2 folder over your game CW2 folder replacing all files
6. Delete models.cached in the CW2 > GameData >Models folder
What has changed
Brig Gens are now leader rank 2
Maj Gens are now leader rank 3 (which allows Union Generals at least to form armies)
Lt Gens are now leader rank 4
Symbols have been adjusted to reflect the appropriate stars
Added a couple of entries in the GameLogic.opt file for leader rank 4
Adjusted command points in the GameLogic.opt file
Change leader progression down from 10 to 5 to try to maintain about the same rate for promotions
What I am not sure about
Since the game didn't really use rank 4 generals I don't know if there is anything hidden which gives them extra benefits or affects anything other than command
Unsure if the progression rate may be a touch untuned, looks OK in the testing I have done
If the Ai really reacts well but from my playtesting it seems fine but I haven't tested much on the base game as I use my own modded version.
Any feedback appreciated, it really just works with the current base general models so does not significantly change the game.
If you decide to use it I hope it works well
Cheers
