Shapeshift

[Aezeal]

I was wondering what would happen if you made a commander (say lets call him "captain" for now).

If captain (recruitable) had the shapeshift command to shapeshift to another commander (not recruitable) called general (with better stats) then you could shapeshift all captains you recruit into generals.

But the army can only have one general, to many captains on the ships is not a good thing (well in dominions it would onlybe nice but let's follow that old saying)

So if we made the general #unique. What would happen?

Would only the first captain be able to get a promotion and the rest not? (which might be nice for all sorts of stuff to use, only if the old general dies you can have a new one)
or with princes and kings (the king is dead, long live the king ect)
I wonder what would happen if you tried to shapeshift the 2nd one though.

I gtg to bed now, I sort of hope someone (gandalf?) might be intrigued by this and I'll have an answer when I look again tomorrow (or maybe it's already been tried and someone can just tell me )

( the thing that put me on this was Sombre's thinking about his warhammer empire mages to be honest, when he started using unique patriarchs I suddenly thought this might be a nice way to get them if it works)

PS a nation based on this would be fun to, if you made some sort of chain of command you could make all sorts of battlefield promotions. lots of captains --> 1 major (unique) --> 1 colonel (unique) --> 1 general (unique) all of the queing up, just waiting for their superior to die so they can get a promotion.
