Captured Generals Expanded

CAPTURED GENERALS EXPANDED

---

ABOUT THIS MOD

Were you disappointed when paradox released the general-capturing mechanic in 1.19? Did you feel like it needed to be fleshed out more? If yes, then this is the mod for you!

Captured Generals Expanded adds a new overview menu and several new ways to interact with captured enemy generals through the Patience and Cooperation systems.

PATIENCE & COOPERATION

Patience represents the general's tolerance for their imprisonment. The lower this value, the more the general will resist, resulting in a greater decay for the general's Cooperation. When this value is low enough, the general can be Executed and removed from the game permanently! When this value is high, the decay on the general's Cooperation is negligible.

Cooperation represents the willingness of the general to work with their captors. The higher this value, the more the general is willing to do. The rewards for high cooperation vary from giving intel to recruiting POW-divisions for his captors to outright becoming a general in the capturing country's army.

OPERATIONS

Use various operations to raise or reduce patience and cooperation, unlocking new mechanics over time.

One such operation is Put on Trial—an event chain where your choices affect the general’s patience and cooperation, while potentially providing additional rewards like army xp, command power, war support etc.

An example of a mechanic unlocked after boosting cooperation is POW recruitment. Not only does this mechanic let you recruit POW-divisions, it will also give you a +0.10% compliance boost on the country of origin of the general for the duration of the war. This boost can be stacked up to 10 times by unlocking the mechanic for other generals too. Generals who have the mechanic unlocked can also be assigned as recruiters in order to speed up the rate at which you gain recruitable POW manpower.
