Advance the given unit so that it appears before the noble issuing
promote
in the location list.
The noble to be promoted should be stacked immediately beneath the promoting noble, or appear later in the location list at the same level.
Examples:
Before:
Osswid the Constructor [5499], accompanied by: Feasel the Wicked [502]
Osswid issues `
':
promote
502
Feasel the Wicked [502] Osswid the Constructor [5499]
Before:
Osswid the Constructor [5499], accompanied by: Feasel the Wicked [502] Candide [1269]
Osswid issues `
':
promote
1269
Candide [1269] Osswid the Constructor [5499], accompanied by: Feasel the Wicked [502]
A common mistake is to think that promote
can be used to swap the
stack leader and someone in the stack. For example, if you have
Osswid the Constructor [5499], accompanied by: Feasel the Wicked [502]
and Osswid issues `
', you do NOT get this:
promote
502
Feasel the Wicked [502] accompanied by: Osswid the Constructor [5499]
instead you get two separate stacks, with the Feasel stack ahead of the Osswid stack in the location report:
Feasel the Wicked [502] Osswid the Constructor [5499]
To swap stack leaders, you need some combination of stack and unstack commands.
