Version 5.15.0 added a direct General display feature to the Officer interface. Players can tap the relevant portrait to inspect detailed information about the General currently assigned to that office.
Why this shortcut matters
Officer decisions often require more than recognizing a General’s name. You may need to compare attributes, specialties, development progress and traits before removing or replacing the current officer. The portrait shortcut reduces navigation and makes that comparison easier.
How to inspect the assigned General
1. Open the building or Officer interface
Navigate to the office you want to review. Confirm that a General is currently assigned.
2. Tap the displayed portrait
Use the portrait associated with the current officer. Version 5.15.0 specifically added this action to reveal detailed General information.
3. Review the details relevant to the duty
Check the General’s visible attributes and traits against the requirements of that office. Focus on what the live screen shows rather than an old community image.
4. Compare before changing assignments
Inspect the proposed replacement separately. Record the current officer’s relevant values, then compare them with the candidate under the same conditions.
5. Confirm the final assignment
After any change, return to the Officer interface and confirm the intended General is displayed. Recheck the building’s active benefits where available.
A practical comparison method
Compare one office at a time. Use three columns in a note: current General, candidate General and resulting duty benefit. This prevents a high overall-power number from overshadowing the traits that actually matter for the assignment.

Common mistakes
- Assuming the portrait is decorative.
- Comparing Generals from different development states.
- Choosing by total power alone.
- Forgetting to confirm the replacement after a swap.
- Using outdated screenshots as current values.
