Thoughts on new general/ field marshal system?

[AncientFlames]

Personally I don't like it. I enjoy the added control over the army, but it makes it really hard to organize a large front where you dont want each general doing something different. I know you can just have them follow the field marshal's orders, but it looks ugly since they all have exclamation marks over them since they technically don't have a command.

What do you guys think?

Coming from HOI3 player where the Arma Command was insane in terms of your command over it I think its a small step in the right direction

Put your armies under a field marashal and control the field marashal, the game will play almost exactly the same.

Beyond that it's a good thing, becuase now I can break off armies to go deal with things instead of randomly dragging people out of my blob to make something new.

They may of made a update last I played hoi4 in response to the complaints, but when I did Field Marshals could only hold 24 divisions like generals, the only thing that set them aside from generals is they could control army groups.

I'm afraid I don't get what you're saying there.

Field Marshals can control generals, generals hold up to 24 troops each, you link those generals to the field marshal and then control the field marshal to control all the armies as a single army.

A fresh marshal can control 5 armies of 24 each, that's 120 divisions per field marshal without any of the upgrades to control more.

You can also use field marshals as generals, but you're suppose to put generals under field marshals.

If you read what I said I am fully aware of how to put generals under a field marshal. It just feel good to me.

Better if I just take a screenshot to make my point, then we can figure out the confusion, brb.

I haven’t played the update yet, but it looks like hoi3 system

Alright, I set up the starting USSR army under field marshals to work exactly like it used to.
