Realistic Commanders

Description: This is my personal take on what skills and traits the in-game commanders should have based on history. Some thoughts have gone into balancing as well so it is not hardcore realistic: For example Zhukov does not start with Offensive doc trait - he'll get it soon enough when the bear rolls.

Guidelines used: Generally speaking each commander has been judged according to when he was at his best/most "popular" during the war. A few examples would be: Rommel now has Desert fox (amongst other traits) and Chuikov has Urban assaulter.

NOTE: The in-game ranks do not correspond with real world ranks due to this new "system" employed by paradox. So as an example dont bother complaining that Paulus is a field marshal. The important bit here is that he is: Skill 2 logistics & planner. NOT the Field marshal bit.

Countries covered so far: ** Germany ** Soviet Union ** UK ** USA ** France ** Italy ** Bulgaria (Have re-named one of the Generals as he was an unknown with a generic portrait) ** Finland ** Hungary ** Romania ** Greece (Have added FM Alexander Papagos, have replaced Gen. Drakos with Gen. Pitsikas) ** Australia ** New Zealand

Changes and updates incoming due to feedback: ** French FM skill point nerfs ** Vatutin will get an additional trait or two

Countries that will be added in future: ** Japan ** South Africa ** Canada ** Norway ** China

Compatibility: ** Not Ironman compatible - well, you cant get achievements that is. ** Will conflict with mods that make changes to history/countries/"x".txt ** Changes will not affect old saves

Feedback: All constructive criticism and ideas are welcome and will bring about changes if I agree ;). All non-constructive criticism will be deleted: Make your own mod if this is the case.

Cheers and enjoy!
