Military personnel
Last update:
The last part of the politics panel allows you to get support from various military experts. You can decide about and recruit into your government commanders of land, air and navy armies. Aside from that, you can decide about the high command, for which you have three slots. In each case you can select and change military experts in accordance to your actions and your playing style.
Below you can find a detailed commentary about specific officers.
Army commander
In this case you have a single slot and two candidates to choose from. Depending on whether you want to focus on offensive or defensive actions you will be given different benefits associated with your style of play. Selection of the officer depends solely on whether you will be an aggressor in the upcoming conflict, or if you will be on the defensive. Each expert requires a specific amount of political power and the decision whether you want to use the one centered around defense or offense can be postponed to 1939.
Description | Benefits |
Attack expert Cost: 150 | Attack of the army +10% |
Defense expert Cost: 150 | Defense of the army +10% |
Navy commander
Navy commander allows you to gain more diverse benefits to the navy than the one available for the land army. You should wait before you decide to select one of the following officers before it is absolutely necessary. In the meantime you should think whether you're going to be using your sea forces and what you want to achieve with them. It is important that the decisions in this regard are consistent with political focuses and other development decisions.

Air commander
In this case the air commander is also selected for a single slot. The benefits of those officers are purely situational. If you want to develop air units, you should appoint Aviation Reformer as soon as possible, who will be generating air unit experience from a very early point in the game. On the other hand, the commander responsible for night missions will be useful when planning surprise attacks. In both cases you should think twice which one will be more useful for your playing style. You should start with using the Aviation Reformer, as you will be using night missions a lot less often.

The last slots of the panel are devoted to the high command, which can be appointed from five candidates and selected for three slots.
