Well, we've had best general contests, so how about an oldest general contest?
My top three should be:
1.Lugotorix (Gaul) 76, when he was slain by romans.
2. Palacus (Scythia) 72, and still going strong.
3. Spartocus the Morbid (Pontus) 72, died in battle.
Post away. ~D
Kiya The Great, Kiya the Conqueror, Kiya the Mighty, Kiya the Killer, of his many titles, whatever you want to call him, I call him "Conqueror of all Asia" because that's what he did. - Died peacefully in Rhodes, age 87.
Wow, now that is something.
92 i don't remember his name, but he was my greek king
My Macedonian faction leader Damasos the Killer was 97 by the time his forces secured world domination, having been an up-and-coming young general when the game started. He had some horrible personality traits, probably caused by losing all 3 of his sons in combat against the Greeks and Romans.
86, a Roman general.
I had forgotten about hm ( put him in the city of caralis )_
but when he died I noticed he was 86, oldest I've seen
There was a thread around here once that had pictures of a general who was aged at about 102. Look around for it.
I remeber that i will try and find it later.
i had a 104 julii one time but i dont remember his name, he had really bad traits for most of em tho so i woulda been almost happy to have him dead b4 then lol
This is the 102 year old:I posted it here so people don't have to look at the other forum.Quote:

How about a youngest general. To bring back nightmares, on my very first campaign the first to die of natural causes died at the age of 56.
Ohhhhhhh the nightmares
I don't think I ever surpassed 90 years old myself in a campaign
My youngest general was 16, like a few others I've heard about. Unless you're talking about the prodigal children, which are age 3 and they have a command star, I've never had one of those. I'll try to find screenshot of the little tyke.
You can get CHILD generals?
There was a picture on here some time ago of a Roman family tree. It showed little Manius, aged 3, had one command star. Of course, he couldn't be used for battle until he was 16. I guess?
Yeah I had a 4 year old that had 2 stars. I thought he'd have about 8 stars or something when he became 16 but he stayed at two stars for the rest of his life. So much for child prodigies.
Try and find the picture, I would be much happy ~D
If you mean youngest general to die, mine was a 34 year old 10 star Faction Leader. Me thinks he was assassinated by his own troops because he was not of noble birth. He was an adoptee.
uuhh, yeah I don't know how to take screen shots. :help:
Print Screen button.
To view your screenshots: have RTW in disk drive, go to My Computer, go to Local Disk C: , then Program files, then Activision, then RTW and then go to the tgas folder. Your screenshots are saved in there.
I find that all of those screenshots are black :/
I use Fraps for screens
Flavius Augustus, formerly Flavius Scipio, aged 79 an still goinf strong.
I seem to remember reading in a thread some time back about how someone at another forum (TWCenter? .COM?) managed to get a general old enough to loop back around to age 0. I think the game uses 7 bits for the age and his general passed 127 so he dropped to 0. Did anyone else read that thread?
impressive numbers in here, I don't believe any of my RTW Generals have reached an age past 80. In MTW I recall them getting to be well into their 80's. Then again, most of my Family members have to go into battle and are raised as warriors are - and as warriors, would probably rather die with on their feet with a sword in their hand, able to look the one that slays you in the eye. Then again, some of our Generals, as we all know, are raving lunatics - and might just take a small portion of their personal Gaurd on a suicide mission through an enemy territory. That is, if they escape their cities I garrison them in.... the sly fools.
!
If I'm not mistaken my brutii faction leader, Tiberius the Cunning (also known as Tiberius the Killer and something else) is right now 111 years old and still ruling. He has carried a very peaceful life since he's in charge of Carthage, keeping peace over more than 30.000 people. That's after he got his 10 command stars and 10 influence (in fact he is over 20, just a pity only 10 show up).
i managed to get 22 influence that's my record
Max stats is 10 for all of managment/stars and influence.Quote:

8 influence has the same effect on a town that 10 influence does.
Turn off anti-aliasing and your screenshots will get more interesting... ~;)Quote:

yes..."raving lunatic". i dunno about you, but some of my generals with purposely "unfortunate" retainers and less-than-desirable statistics often happen to wander haphazardly into lines of pikemen. or just...stand there with their back to the enemy... ~D
Does cleaner citys afect your generels in any way? Or are they just there for afect?
My youngest was 20 yr old. He wasn't meant to die!!! I had spent four years transporting him from Nicomedia, to Domus Dulcis Domus where i transported him from there by sea to Batavodurum with an entire stack of my finest men, only for his ship to sink in a storm halfway there. He was going to be such a great general too!!Quote:
How about a youngest general.
Pah, mine was 16 when he died in a ship during a storm. his 19 year old cousin died too. :plays sad music:

Pretty unlucky, some of these stories...
Unlucky and also funny.. hahaha :grin:
Strangely enough, my oldest general is 106. He's never gone out of his city in southern Italy, and he's still alive.
His little retirement villa must've had a very very nice vineyard. 'Tis said wine is good for the health.
But, now... Nicomedia to Vicus Gepidae (DDD)?!?!? That means going through Gibraltar O_o ...the hey?!
Yeah, I know I'm kinda late since the last post was in 2005, but I was goin through some old posts and found this.
One of my Scipii generals died when he was 16 - he was assassinated the turn after he had come of age.
My oldest was also the Scipii- 110 years, I think.
