===Commanders===
These are "realism" options for dealing with our space and ground force officers.

* '''Realistic Commanders Promotions:''' This option will allow Aurora to look after the promotions within your officers corps, basing them on skills, medals, and time in grade.

* '''Commander Political Bonuses:''' When using realistic promotions officers are promoted based on their skill. If this option is in use, those skills include a 'political bonus' which has no other use. This simulates the rise of those officers who rely on political connections rather than ability.

Leave ''Realistic Commander Promotions'' on as it is one thing less to worry about and it does provide a good flavour to the Commander system. Turn off the Political Bonuses option as it adds an unnecessary complication for new players.
