Before starting a campaign you are given information about all factions' starting units. I have always assumed that having chosen one faction entails getting units of the chosen faction and the rest factions getting the units listed in the preview. Thus, starting as Aragonese and English in High vanilla expert I always saw Toulouse held by French troops headed by a multistar (4 IIRC) general. But when I chose the French, the said general had 0 command rating . What's the catch? Is it trickery? Or does the AI distribute troops only quantity-minded disregarding the generals stats?
