Clarification on useful traits when hiring Praetorians and Centurions

[jasta85]

So, just some clarification when hiring new characters, this is what I understand so far:

Praetorians are additional party members that you can bring into tactical fights, and they can also be assigned to outpost positions (recruiting, crafting, building etc).

Centurions are army battle commanders only, so they need to have specializations that match your stratagems, as well as battlefield type traits like medicus which reduces casualties in battle when they are leading.

Is the above correct?

And if it is, does that mean that centurions should only have battle related traits. Traits that give bonuses to your outpost positions, or traits that would help them in your party are irrelevant, correct?

[BER]

No.
They share common pool.
You pick 4 characters for Strategic command and all the rest can be used in combat.
But you can switch them anytime.

Chose those chacters with more and different perk for Autocombat and camp managment.

but when I hire centurions they don't have any option to be placed in outpost duties or in my party, they can only be placed in army command. Am I missing something?

Sorry I play in Russian, so may be litle disconnect.

Press "O" to set them on work in camp. Hammers, first aid icons aplied at camp.

Go to barrack building, where you hire them, and switch to 2 page. On the 2 page on the left characters for aventure and to the right 4 commanders. You can drag and drop them from Centurions to Praetorians and vice versa.

You are limited to 12 hired leaders = 8 adventure + 4 commanders.
Party characters do not count to limit, but also can work in camp. Gladiator can boost new recruits.
