Hot Air Ballon?

Was startled to see a hot air ballon hovering over the battlefield. When did they get added and is there anything I can use them for?

You really can't do anything with it.

It's been there as long as I can remember. It only allows you to see your enemy's deployment zone.

he's correct, i think its a trait that generals have.
they have been in the game since ETW.

I don't remember seeing a general have in ETW. Plus, I've only seen Napoleon have that trait.

Only in NTW, and only Napoleon has it at the start, but other generals can be given it.
