I figure if they're outnumbered and they have 1200 friendly troops just 3 minutes away they could wait a few minutes for my guys to get there. I had everyone sprinting full speed and I didn't get there in time to save them (partly because battles go by so damn fast....)
Sounds like a real Roman army.
General: How many do they have?
Bodyguard: They outnumber us 10:1. We need to wait for reinforcements.
General: If we wait, the other guy will get the glory. I want to be Consul, not him. Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaarge!!!!!!!!!!!!

But if 1 of those stacks has 11 units in it with or without a general it will be controlled by the A.I.
I sent a force of 2 units of equites to aid a besiged city. As the battle started I was in control of the equites, leaving my family member reinforcement and 6 other units in the hands of the AI. I quit to desktop as soon as my general started his suicide charge across a bridge.
