Which would almost never be a wise investment.
So let's say as an example 4 Generals + 1 "talented junior officer" you can buy for about half the cost of a unit of Bowmen/light Foot, instead of the current 4 Generals.
Junior officers don't move from unit to unit. The game already has Superior missile units where we think it is justified.
When I play FoG2 or P&S, I do play their Vanilla version with their Vanilla units and their Vanilla mechanisms. No mod (except the FoG2 Rear/Flank mod for P&S Cronos made), no customised units. If you see what I mean.

My latest game involves me with an entirely foot army, no cavalry at all, and just a handful of skirmishers. The ai decided to place no sub-generals, I just had the CinC, leaving all subs for me to place, meaning no large command radius sub.
Could we get a change so that it always places an infantry sub if possible? Alternatively, always make the first sub placed have a large command radius, as it can always be switched out to cavalry anyway when it does appear. Otherwise you can get the situation in MP where one player has it and the other doesn't.

We are not going to add officers to boost missile unit shooting.

We will think about it.
