    Default how to kill KH generals????

    i think they're the hyper-unit of EB...seriously... I find them a PAIN to kill... they killed an entire half stack army of mine, and in my battle to take Korinthos, they slaughtered almost half my army, which was a full stack, by the way.

    Considering the base of my army is bronze-armor normal Hoplitai, and Phalangitai Deuteroi, i need to upgrade my army but my recruitment cities aren't big enough... i'm playiing as Epeiros.

    thanks

    Cavalry charges to the rear once they're pinned at the front. Rinse, repeat.
    It began on seven hills - an EB 1.1 Romani AAR with historical house-rules (now ceased)
    Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)
    Philetairos' Gift - a second EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR

    Though I personally find it very effective to whittle down the number of bodyguards with Sphendonetai & the like first, before engaging them in hand to hand combat. Also a cheap phalanx works wonders, especially the Pantodapoi/Machimoi types. What now with a trusty axe for a side-arm...

    No, you don't have to. Playing Makedonia I had absolutly no problems killing the KH bodyguards or Spartiates with Phalangitai Deuteroi. You need to have them attack you, preferable on a hill, or use two units of Phalangitai Deuteroi, one pinning them frontal and the other one attacking from the flank (deep formation and guard mode off for flanking phalanx).

    i lost my king in a thunderous cavalry charge from the makedonian king... it was the first charge... just angle your cavalry so that you hit the general... poof! (a little luck combined with elbow grease should do it.)

    Several thousand persians should do the trick.
