GAH!
Here's the situration:
I was playing as the Turks... defending against a Russian attack. The Russians had a massive army. My Turks annihilate the first wave. I'm thinking, "Geez. So many prisioners. I don't want them to come back in the next Rusky attack...", so I had them all put to the sword.
So far, all is fine.
The 2nd wave comes in. I annihilate it too. Now, as my Turks are chasing the Russians back to their harems... all of a sudden, my general, who has been totally inactive the entire battle (but constantly consoling his men that the battle will soon be won) has his honor, which started at 2, flash a couple of times and drop to -2 on the spot! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/eek.gif I'm talking in the midst of battle! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/eek.gif
The rest of the army was apparently unaffected. But I though it was kinda funny that my general would go from +2 to -2 valor instantly!
Maybe he had one too many prisioners executed and got pegged with some kind of bloodlust vice or something?!?
Anywayz... Hillarious! I then noticed afterwards his dread was really high, and he did have some 'colorful' vices, all 'violent' types, like 'scant mercy', etc.
GAH!
On a separate note... I have noticed that Turkish units tend to have somewhat low loyalty. I see lots of units with commanders with 4 shields or less. In fact, I once spotted an Armenian Heavy Cav general... ZERO loyalty! The pig was at the head of a huge invasion army too! Fortunately, his own unit only had 3 men, so letting him go was a non-issue. Its not like he had stellar valor anyway...
