Training stars

What are Chevrons?

Nobunaga Oda , I get it but, is there any specific way by which they can be obtained ? I mean I know they can be obtained in a campaign or a conquest by training or by dealing damage, is there any specific way to obtain chevrons. Like by dealing some amount of damage or so on... ?

Nobunaga Oda, I thought they were only training stars, used when regrouping generals. Anyway, I got it though. Thanks

How do we increase the stars of a general in a particular field like infantry Nobunaga Oda ,

You will need an empty general slot. Buy a general with the trainer skill, like zavresky for infantry. Go to your headquarters, click on a general and click regroup, then click on a trainer. Make sure the arrow is going the right way, ie you are regrouping the trainer general and not the other way around. Before you regroup, it will show you the post regrouping nobility and rank of the general and below show how many stars the general will now have in the trainers skill. Make sure neither general has any items. Now you can regroup.

Training and training stars are actually two different things.

Training is a special ability some generals have (but no princessses). It will say "artillery trainer, cavalry trainer, etc." Under their skills. For example Zavresky has mass fire and infantry trainer. The trainer skill is useless in game, its only used when you regroup generals. For most generals, when you regroup you add in their nobility and rank to another general, at a discount of maybe 80%. But generals with the trainer skill add an extra star to that ability as well.

The extra star works like a +5 combat item, so its really only needed after you have already gotten the attack items. Items are better because multiple generals can use them. Once you have a lot of items, then you can start using trainers to make your generals even stronger.

Training stars mean the general can add chevrons in game by spending food and gold. The chevrons reduce damage by 2. The max is 5, so -10 damage.

Oddly, the only skill you cant train in is training stars. However many stars you start with is what you get. This is the main problem with Sophia. Compared with the elite princesses she has few training stars.

You can train generals in business. This is very useful because a five stad in business general can buy items much cheaper. This is why Arnold is a great general, he has 5 stars in trading and is a business trainer. So you can use him to buy and sell itens first and then regroup him into another general later. Lan comes with 4 business stars, so she just needs one business trainer to get 5 stars.

Mobility is the most useful skill because it can be used with any unit. Its also the most expensive and difficult, because there is only 1 tier 1 movement trainer Dietz. The same rules as items exist. First buy movement items, then worry about trainers.

For infantry, cavalary, artillery trainers, they only make sense.on specialized generals like Victoria, Lan, and Isabella who are primarily used on a single unit type. For hybrids, like Sakurako, it makes more sense to just train in mobility and use items.
