[QUOTE="Inconsequenti-AL, post: 1591212, member: 6584"] [B]Snoweel[/B] I think you're quite right about the general needing respect... it's going to be a mess otherwise. The 'social skills' are important - I think getting respect out of people, in any situation I can think of, is easier if you're good at dealing with people than if you're not? Admittedly, if that's all you've got then there's going to be real problems. :) FWIW, I think the foreman's job is more that of a junior officer - A general is more like management - the grunts don't interact with them very often, but good management (should!) among other things, know how to treat their staff right, know who to listen to and pick decent foremen? They've also got to know what they're doing, otherwise everyone is out of a job? it's a different set of skills required for the two things? Besides, it's not like a bard can't fight?
