When a leader is killed or removed automatically, the AI will always chose another leader who is eligible who has no other command. Sometimes this will include a promotion of one rank.

But what happens if a leader is killed and removed and there are no other leaders without a command even with a promotion of one rank? Will the AI promote a leader who is free of a command up two ranks? Or will it appoint someone who is eligible but commanding another HQ - and then have to find a replacement for them and so on in a chain?

The impression I am starting to get is this situation prevents a leader from ever being killed or removed automatically. This of course can be exploited to prevent good leaders you do not want to lose from being lost!

Always hard to prove a negative, but based on experience since it does look like this is preventing leaders from being dismissed.
