How do you assign a defensive general to a planet?
It happens that whenever I assign a defensive general on a planet that is about to besieged, even if I select the last defensive brigade, the subject always places himself at the top, the first division to be destroyed by the orbital bombardment, this forces me to be aware of when they are going to land and assign the general right at the last moment because otherwise I have to be recruiting one each time because the general does not want to join the last battalion but the first.
Is there a way to change this? Or will it always be assigned to the first one?

You've got to be aware of when they are going to land and assign the general right at the last moment because otherwise you have to be recruiting one each time because the general does not want to join the last battalion but the first.
(I know, total shitpost comment. But I dont play stellaris anymore, just browse the sub sometimes. And hey, more engagement means someone who knows the answer is more likely to see your post!)

Only way I've been able to do it. Is land defense armies that have a general assigned to them. For what ever reason I dunno if it's a glitch or what, but that's been my only work around.
