Just started a Massalia game, where I cheated in order to get my entire starting army from Greece to Massalia and Emporium. My first battle in this game, I send a 3/4th stack against a half stack rebel town nearby, mostly levies against my 2 Generals, 4 Celto-Helenic Infantry, 2 Massalian Hoplights, 2 Celtic Archers, Skirmishers, Hellenic Cavalry Skirmishers.
All is going great, until my Faction Leader dies to the Gaul General Bodyguard (Brihim s/p). Even though the enemy general was surrounded by 4 units of spearmen.
*sigh* at least he was in his 60's and to die soon anyways. As I am almost done with the battle, fighting the last unit of Heavy Infantry in the town square, my second general dies.
I just quit out of frustration.
Enemy General survives being surrounded by countless spearmen, in fact, he's the only one to survive out of the entire unit.
Yet both MY generals die with almost full strength units. They are nearly the first casualties out of their own bodyguard unit. What the hell!
