I think that is OK!!!

Also, I cannot promote any Generals when I wish to, what's going on please??

Thanx, Chris

If you're doing that but it doesn't work, that would probably mean that all of your upper-rank slots are filled.

By the way, remember what Erik asked: threads about the public beta version need to go in that subforum. (I'd move this thread, but my brother's lousy Dell + IE seem to have weakened my moderator's superpowers, in that the pop-up box I need to do this doesn't come up. So it's your thread's lucky day.)

Ohhhhh, could be that you may be right. I have to try this earlier in the game and/or when I have more Acadeomies built then.

Well, seems everyone else is posting questions and what nots about the game mechanics whether they be from the old version or new upgraded version of the game, so I thought I would be normal like everyone else.

Cheers, Chris

I think the readme says that the number of Academies no longer determine promotions. It is the number of groups now.

Ah ha!! That is the reason I couldn't promote anyone as I didn't have enough containers. Very nice idea!!

Thanx for the help, Chris

Status: offline 		Our original idea of using academies to get more high-ranking generals was a good idea on paper, but proved too cumbersome because of the different ways one could put armies together in the Civil War. We reserve the right to use it in a future game, but for this one it made sense to abandon it altogether, and give people as many high-ranking generals as they need.
