Description:
Why this exists

You build a new fleet, get pulled into something else, and ten years later you notice it has been sitting there the whole time without an admiral. No bonuses, no orders, just a parked stack. Vic3 never warns you about it.

So I added a warning.

What it does

Two alerts sit at the top of the screen:

  • A blue one when any of your fleets has no admiral.
  • A red one when any of your armies has no general.

Each alert stays up until every formation of that type has a commander. Nine of ten fleets staffed? The alert is still there until the tenth one gets an admiral too. Click it to jump to the Military panel.

Notes
  • Player only. The AI never sees it.
  • No balance changes, nothing written to your save.
  • Add it or drop it whenever, even mid-campaign.
  • Don’t want one of them? Turn either alert off in the message settings.
  • English and German.

Compatibility: it only adds two new alerts and changes no vanilla files, so it sits fine next to almost anything. Built for 1.13.x.
