The Generals

I read something about that it would be 3 historical Generals in Custom Battle and a fourth General which is generated. There is also a pool for this generals. But i want to know what is in the camapaign? Are the generals in the campaign historical? Will be all Generals of Napoleon in the Game?

I saw in the total war zone (The german pendent of Total War center) in the second picture an army of Carl von Clausewitz who is historical and not one of the 3 prussian generals.

Yes, apparently every single general is historical. Which is interesting since it might be possible to run out of generals.

theyll probably have 20-30 generals listed though
and i certainly dont go through that many generals in a campaign

for each nation in MP there is a 9-star gen, a 6-star gen, a 3-star gen and then although ive never heard of the generec gen, but i presume that would be 1-star

Yes-one stars are generic. Also remember seeing a mp army setup screen where you MUST pick your general first before you are allowed to recruit other units, with general's bodyguards not available, and that the 9-star gen ran around 1200 pts!!!

so price changes the better your general gets

Didn't ETW have historical generals in the campaign too?

All the starting generals (I assume) and some famous names could appear at certain times, but there were plenty of randomly generated ones.

There's like 40 generals and if You run out of them You re done for good

The generated general is a standard one - his name is simple..... General , others - more expensive are historical.
Deciding about price You want to spend for Your general You're choosing how to define his rally abilities.
The more expensive general, the bigger bonuses he gives when rallying units.

Generals in campaign are historical. Generals of Napoleon are in the battle.
I' ve seen Desaix, Ney and few more i do not remember now.

Wonder if the stars mean something about their rank.

IE: Fieldmarshall, General, etc etc

who does everone think the generals will be?
9-stars would obviously be
France - Nappy
Austria - Archduke Charles
Prussia - Blucher
Russia - Kutuzov
Great Britain - Wellington

probably Ney and Davout would be 6 and 3 star for the french
