Killing the General

[caravel]

My fav general has aquired Not So Bold, but I can't figure out why. He's been actively fighting in the past and he's never lost a battle except for one tactical withdrawl. This is the guy who's an Field Defense Expert and Skilled Poor Odds Defender

And that is how he acquired "not so bold". In this respect withdrawing the general has a similar effect as routing the general. I think routing get's the general a minimum of "good runner" straight off, whereas if you withdraw, your general can sometimes get, IIRC, "eager to retreat" or "not so bold".

The V&V attribution could've been done best. I think thant when you attack huge stacks of peasants with 200 ubermen, you gain virtues like "very good against the odds, incredible attacker under bad circumstances". And when you make a magnificient resistance outnumbered 10:1, killing 5:1, and finally rout, you are such a coward, etc, etc...

The best way to handle that is to now that it's about reputation (of your general), and not effective facts...

EDIT: Err, sorry, that's a bit of off-topic ranting...
