It would be nice to have historical figures for each factions as generals at the appropirate dates.
Example:
Joan of Arc offered to French faction at year 1419.

Jean D'Arc is in the game, she appears at the time of her life, and you get her if you win a battle against the english.
She's only an ancillary though...
Same thing with William Wallace and a couple more I can't remember.
That's just disappointing. It's hilarious that great figures become the petty servants of your generals lol.
Well, both Jean D'Arc and william wallace were servants to the king...
But I agree, I liked it better in MTW where they appeared as non-royal generals.
But that's a bit difficult now, because the only named characters are family members.... But forcing an adoption at a given time is a good idea IMO.
Historical figures do exist as generals... but only at the start of the game. AFAIK the names of the basic starting Kings and Princes are relatively accurate to their historical counterparts. Even the starting Pope is properly named.
El Cid is around isnt he? I think hes a rebel general chilling down in Valencia?
I'm not so sure on that one.
Yes he is but you cannot use him at all unless you wait ages and bribe him (by which time he will be in his late sixties so useless).Quote:

Have any of you noticed that with England you've got William the Conqueror as a general in London? The same goes with King Philip the Chivalrous in France.
I do trust the people who develop these games to be extremely accurate with their history. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Live long and prosper, take care and thank you kindly!!!
Sincerely yours always,

Yea, like someone has sade, generals starting out are historicaly correct, but it is impossible to have historical generals pop up as the game progresses since what almost always happens is that an alternate history progresses and situations are not like what they were during history
