    i finished my france campaign and i am about to start a new austrian campaign. But there is a problem who is annoying me: why the archiduke charles is not in the campaign map? is it a bug? will he appears later on the campaign? archduke charles was a great millitary leader... he deserve to be in the campaign

    He is there his name in the game is Karl von Österreich-Teschen, I honestly think they should have just named him Archduke Charles which is the more recognized. This is why major characters should have their own campaign models so they are easily spotted on the campaign map. Maybe CA will give Mikhail Kutuzov and Archduke Charles custom campaign map models in the next patch so people don't go through entire campaigns and not realize they had epic battles with the epic characters of the period.

    kutuzov, blucher,wellington and nappy have different campaign characters at least

    Actually Blucher, Duke of Wellington, and Napoleon are the only characters that have custom campaign models. Why they did this I'm not sure but Mikhail Kutuzov and Archduke Charles most certainly deserve custom models since they commanded the largest armies of these nations in 1805.

    The British general John Moore and marshal Ney of France has custom units too.

    Yes it is possible to mod generals to have custom campaign models. As for the major characters they left out two really import ones, they could have at least done one character for for each of the playable faction don't you agree? To be honest when I play Russia and Austria I feel like I have generic faction compared to France, Britain, and Prussia. The custom campaign models really adds to the immersion for me I just wish CA would have did this for all of the playable factions.

    There are loads of of custom battle map models but there are only 3 generals that have custom campaign map models, trust me I have looked at the warscape_animated_lod_tables. They are Blucher, Duke of Wellington, and Napoleon.

    Ah, I see now you are right. I was confused by the fact that Moore and Ney's units have their name instead of "General's Staff". But the model is the same.
