I just fought a battle in which I killed the French general. As usual http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/mad.gif, after killing everybody else in the general's unit, the general himself proved unkillable in melee, so I had 2 full units of archers hose him down. After several volleys, I saw the guy carrying the general's flag fall dead and I saw the text box and heard the voice announcing his death. Sic transit general after massive overkill and distraction of assets http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/rolleyes.gif.
After the battle, the screen popped up saying the French had ransomed the 250+ prisoners I took. Including the DEAD general! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/eek.gif
How can this be? http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/confused.gif I mean, if the CA guys wanted to toss in a Monty Python reference, you'd think they'd at least have had the voice say movie lines like "'E's not dead yet", "'e's gettin' better", "T'is but a scratch," etc. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif
Anybody else seen had this happen to them? If so, what the result? Can I expect to face this general again, or did the French just pay to have his remains returned for burial? If he's really still alive, will he be saddled with the loss and cowardly V&Vs, or will resurrection give him a clean slate?
