Wandering1 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Just curious, after finishing my Union run of Antietam (which, I think the reverse scaling made things too easy, but that's another topic), I noticed that it rewarded me with the Iron Brigade, led by John Gibbon. ...Curiously, I got John Gibbon earlier from 2nd Bull Run. Are we supposed to get twins of the generals frequently? In the picture, you can see John Gibbon on the left, leading III Corps, while he's also leading the Iron Brigade, on the right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernReb18 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 VERY INTERESTING. I HAVE HAD 2 GENERALS SPAWN IN MY ACADEMY WITH THE SAME LAST NAME AS ME TOO. HAD MY GENERAL AND THE OTHER TWO WITH THE SAME NAME ALL LEADING MY FIRST 3 INFANTRY BRIGADES ... BOY TALK ABOUT CONFUSING. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaleRaven Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 There are a few cases of duplicate pregenerated generals that probably need to be revised. Other generals are randomly generated, so duplicates will happen on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. P. Hill Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I know names are regurgitated between sides. I play CSA and I've had a couple commanders with union names ... I currently have a brigade commander named Ulysses Grant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know, there could have been a Ulysses Grant on the Confederate side that was the 8th cousin of the one that is much better known...

Wright29 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 AP Hill pops up for the Confederates for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longstreet is leading my 2nd Corps. I got Jackson too but didn't realize it was him, he ended up at the head of a brigade and was killed in Cross Keys if I remember correctly.

GeneralPITA Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 There's a Duncan and a Darryl Siegfried. When reassigning officers, the original brigades retain the name of their original officer. This may have changed, I'll have to confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legioneod Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) Do officers spawn randomly? Some of my favorite brigade commanders never spawn for me, so I can't recreate my favorite brigades. Harry T Hays, Richard Taylor, William E. Starke, and Henry Benning are a few that I never get. I would just like to be able to see all the commanders that are not a reward to be already listed in the barracks menu.

Wright29 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 The in-game theory for some particular generals not popping up is that they are in other theaters of the war. It's pretty inconsistent- like why is Forrest running around Antietam, but Earl Van Dorn is not? But I wouldn't read into it too much as it is just a nice flavor they add in.
