Generals are players which choose not to play as a nation, but rather a commander within a nation. As such, generals give buffs to the troops they lead. Generals gain experience in battles - so, the more battles you win, the more skills you may gain.

However, the general buffs are ONLY valid, if you say that your general will charge with his men. Doing this will have his risks, which will be decided by dice roll:

If you do this and lose, you will have a
-25% (1-25) Chance of perishing in battle
-25% (25-50)Chance of being captured in battle
-50% (50-100) chance of escaping from battle.

If your general does indeed charge and win. He has a 10% (X to X+10) chance of dying in the field.

(REMEMBER, even if your army is Defeated and if you do not charge, you have a 25% (1-25) chance of being captured)

Here are the levels your general may be after battles

0 Battles- 1 Star General (+1 Roll Buff)

3 Battles- 2 Star General (+1 Roll Buff, +2 Roll Buff If Chargingg)

5 Battles (3 you have charged in) - 3 Star General (+2 Roll Buff, +3 Roll Buff If Charging, +1 Org.

10 Battles (5 you have charged in)- 4 Star General (2 Roll Buff, +4 Roll Buff If Charging, (Free official title) +1 Org

20 Battles (10 charges)- 5 Star General (+3 Roll Buff, +5 Roll Buff If Charging ,(Free Official Title) +3 Org

BATTLES ARE ONLY COUNTED IF YOU HAVE LESS Than a 3:1 Starting Ratio in battle


Players may choose to become a rebel within a country if the country has >10 unrest, or there is a valid RP reason (of course admins will accept or deny these requests). If a rebellion succeeds, the rebels may topple the government or secede from the parent country.
