THE CLONES ARE ATTACKING!!!!

WT?!

well, I guess the guy was so awesome, AS developed a secret project to clone their best generals..otherwise, I dunno the cause.

I have read that the Seleucids had a habit of adopting successful military tactics... maybe cloning was one of them.

How the hell do you think Alexander conquered such a vast territory in a few years? Obviously his Macedonian army was just composed of Alexander clones!

Some 2000 years later, they found that out, and provoked the Metal Gear Solid series (Where Liquid Snake tells Solid Snake that all the soldiers in MGS 1 are his clones. :P)

speaking of which, what exactly causes it? and is that fixable, the cloning that is in EB...I don't want to fight 2 hannibals...

in the meantime:

"the persian paul revere rides through persian countryside. he cries out:

"THE CLONES ARE ATTACKING! THE CLONES ARE ATTACKING! TO ARMS! TO ARMS!THE CLONES ARE ATTACKING...""

okay guys.... one moment ;)

yes I also recognised that they both rule the town...
the most weird thing is, that they have different bodygaurds...
so it can't be a real clone xD ... maybe... a twin xD
or the AS had a great fight just with this general...;)

Thank you, I'll have a look at it as soon as I can.

This guy was originally the client ruler of the settlement of Asaak. Earlier, there was a problem with the few characters who started out as client rulers, which probably explains why he doesn't have the client ruiler trait.

In most of the cases I've seen, this sort of duplication can occur when a named character who is not originally in the family tree marries into the family. That appears to be what happened here: he's married Pherenike, daughter of Antiochos Syriakos. For some reason, these marriages appear to confuse the game engine. The fact that the guys are identical except for the size of their bodyguards is due to the fact that the original client ruler had a bodyguard of Babylonian heavy infantry, while the duplicate "family member" character has the standard AS bodyguard of heavy cavalry.

I'm afraid I don't know what can be done about this, but since he's fairly old both of him should die in a few years, which should take care of the problem.

Hi Atilius, thank you for a nice (and when I am thinking of it in fact an obvious) explanation!

The mystery thus solved it is clear now: the two guys are not CLONES, but in fact a serious case of SCHIZOPHRENIA in very developed stage that led into total split of personality, even in the physical sense.

Therefore it is not a bug, but a feature that nicely represents the schizophrenic situation of a local officer who just married into the royal family - he simply cannot make up his mind whether he still could hang around with his old buddies from the garrison (Babylonian Heavy Inf) or rather being seen with his new friends - the Seleucid golden youth (Somatophylakes). Ultimately it leads to the consequences that have puzzled us for so long

Well Hax, they were in fact client rulers, were they not? I demand a beer from you as satisfaction!
