I wonder what it's like in the Star Menu - is it some cosy paradise, or maybe It's like when a Pokemon goes into a Poke Ball?

I suppose its very much like the unemployment market. Very boring and no benefits. And people dont like the ones (generals) being in there cuz they lazy and useless... regardless of potential (after upgrades). Lol. XD

Still the idea, old as it is, has some merits. It might be an easy way to "expand the island" aka build space, without actually having to make the map bigger.... the space taken by 30 odd generals that are used can provide for a nice economy expansion...
It would mean a shift from current game workings true... but the game can/should evolve. Numbers of generals and specialists have increased A LOT since game conception... the idea of every general in usage taking up map-space needs to be revisited!

send lazy gens to rest in star menu

Of course, I think we all do that, but it would be very nice if they could be in some "real" location on the island, where we could also load troops, without having to place the gens on one of the spots on the island.

That sounds horrid! I like to think it's some sort of Spa, where they get pampered and looked after before they get sent on deployment again. :P

Sounds much better, either way a place for them to chill before they are off again would be most welcome.

Its prob been suggested before ( i know ive said it) but what about a general HQ up-gradable building that takes up 1 building slot but can hold lvl1 10 gens, lvl2 20 gens, etc and all gens able to be loaded and sent from that building. Cost wont be as much an issue as i think its more the player that has 40+ gens that would want it.

I've usually seen that suggested as an additional use for the tavern since after a while (e.g. getting all the generals) it doesn't serve much of a purpose. Either way, I'd like to do that so +1 to the concept, but since the garrisons build so fast retrenching them is not that big of a deal, and I think there is an intended trade-off to having zillions of generals because the take up all your land space.

There have been many suggestions for this sort of thing in the past. However with the limits on the numbers of certain generals recently being raised, suggestions such as yours hit certain problems. It's possible based on what I've been told in the past that we may have players with 80-100 generals/Marshall's playing. Obviously we can't build a level 10 building which those players would need. Another problem is the current general selection UI, the one in star menu is bad enough but the send to adventure one is not really designed for those with a large stable of generals.

What I suggested is instead of levels as you suggest we have named tabs. The basic building comes with 1 tab "Gens" but we upgrade it by adding additional tabs which we can name ourselves. So a player may have a buildings with tabs labeled "Gens", "Vets", "MMAs" etc, this would solve the problems of scrolling around to find a particular general. A maximum of 8-10 tabs should be enough for most players and allow for quick finding of a particular general.

I think that's a pretty good idea Dorotheus.

easy retrench them, i load all mine with recs and a few militers and swords for bosses, alis ect i use SM as fodder,
i cant understand that if you have so many genrals you wana use anything but fodder,
Salems adventure guides,
1: load all with fodder
2: sent to section leader
3: move to next spot
4: sent to next leader
game over , go out and get some sun

[dormeu]

yea why not make it possible to acces the generals in star directly :-p
