Another idea which could improve this game even further. Not applying any pressure to AGEOD or Pocus. Just iterested what all of you think.

In game poster of best generals in the game

Game would get another window similar to one of these:

I didn't find my favorite one where Lee is in the midle and around him are Jackson, Forrest, PGT...

Game engine would draw info about seniority advance and place portraits of those generals in the poster. In the midle it would place a pic of highest ranked general.
Let say one midle pic and four generals in each corner.

If in game history for generals would be implemented then this could be displayed too. Like, pic of Forrest as he gained let say 15 seniority points and at the bottom of his pic stuff like:
Fought gallantly at battle of Wilsons creek
Won engagement... and so on.

Just an idea.

Just so you know I have already began work on the program that will display the army structure (well, and so much more eventually).

While it won't be in the first release version I will double check and see if there is a way to do that in the program I am working on. Can't remember if seniority is stored in the save file but if not I will look into doing it another way. That would be a nice visual to include.
