Attacking from different provinces

[caravel]

Thanks for answering, Asai! You mean to say that, for instance, a two-star general leading three units will be seen on the battle map as THE GENERAL of the united army originating from different provinces and consequently the choice of a battle map will proceed from his larger stack, while a four-star general leading one unit from another province will become his subordinate? Would it be impolite to wonder whether you are guessing or are you sure of what you wrote?

It would not be impolite at all - though I'm not sure you understood my post correctly as I did not state that a 2 star general would become a 4 star's subordinate. To summarise:

The "general" in a given battle is always the highest ranking unit leader or the King. So even if your 9 star general goes into battle with a 0 star king - the king leads the battle and your 9 star general does not.

If three armies invade i.e. Anjou, from three adjoining provinces - the general's army is where the battle takes place. It's his border crossing point that determines the battle map you fight on. For example, if you send in three stacks as follows:

5 star general - stack of 3 units
1 star general - stack of 2 units
6 star general - stack of 2 units

What goes into battle is a 6 star general led stack of 7 units.

If the 6 star invaded from Aquitaine, then the Aquitaine to Anjou border crossing info is used to determine the battle map you will fight on.
