no weapon in the generals arm

[anubis88]

I'm sorry, i saw a topic about this a long time ago, but i cant find it. My general sometimes loses his club (playing with the Pahlava), and fights with his bare fists. Have can i fix this?

I understand this happens when a general (or any officer) is in charge of a missile unit that has expended all its ammo. As this is a bug in the core engine there is no way to fix it, but it doesn't appear to have any effect on his combat efficiency either.

Yeah, could be, i never made that connection.
The thing is IIRC, that someone posted a simillar thing happening to him when playing as Carthage...

AFAIK it is only an issue with side-arm switching: the general has one weapon but his men have two -- resulting in the odd situation in which the engine interprets the general to be wielding a weapon which is nonexistent. As if the core engine is limited to one weapon type for a general/officer.
