this is not a bug report per se, but more of a wish list item concerning generals.

1.) forge of freedom had an excellent feature of providing a percentage chance for leaders to appear in the game. it would be a great addition to crown of glory.

2.) enable the "diedin" column in the generals data file for retirement of generals. presumably this would reference a turn number as "turn-#_base0" does for appearance.

3a.) add columns "Event_Appear" and "Event_Retire" to appear/retire the general when a specific historical event occurs.

3b.) for the events file, add historical events for the first surrender of each major power, for use in #2 above. This is already happening behind the scenes anyway, as 300 experience points are awarded to the surrendering nation after their first surrender (and 50 for each subsequent surrender).

note that in combination these 3 changes could provide for quite a bit of flexability - for example, Napoleon is a 1 star general in 1796, is retired as a 1 star with the surrender of Austria and replaced with a 2 star; is retired as a 2 star with the historical event of his election as first consul and replaced with a 3 star; is retired as a 3 star with the historical event of his corronation as emperor and replaced with a 4 star.

Please add this to the "Wish List" thread so your ideas don't get overlooked.

I can say that we're unlikely to add #1 because, unlike FOF, we don't have 1000 generals in our database. But one or more of the others might make it into the game at some point.
