    Default Strange Occurrences....any Thoughts?

    Last night I decided to scrap my initial campaign at default/default settings, and begin a new one at VH/VH. At the default settings I had never lost a battle, though, of course, I'd made many *newbie* Campaign Map errors in judgement.

    Some of my experiences are posted in this thread, but my last post is most particular to this thread:

    Number of Battles and Strategic AI


    The subject of this thread is in regard to two Strange Occurrences within my new campaign. As I stated in the above thread, the Campaign opened with a Senate Mission. I'm playing as the *red* Romans:

    1) As instructed by the Senate I took the Rebel city of Sebastia (sp??). The thing is that I had TWO Generals in my 1/3 stack. I won the battle EASILY, but when the battle was over and I came back to the Campaign Map, one of the Generals had EVAPORATED!!!!

    The Family Tree shows him as having died, but he did NOT die in Battle, nor of old age. The game was less than 10 Turns old. He just evaporated!!!

    2) Similarly, several turns later, my capital city, Atrinium (Sp??) was beseiged. A couple turns latter the Guals decided to *Take* the city rather than wait it out. I had THREE Generals!!!!! I won the battle, and this time TWO generals EVAPORATED!!!!

    WTF????

    I've rebooted and am starting a *new* campaign, particularly for the above reasons.

    Thoughts?
    In Victory and Defeat there is much honor
    For valor is a gift And those who posses it
    Never know for certain They will have it
    When the next test comes....


    The next test is the MedMod 3.14; strive with honor.

    If the general in the unit dies, then the unit disappears...

    You only get notification if the general actually commanding the battle (the one with the gold star) dies I believe during the battle...

    It is a risk using these powerful units... If the wrong guy dies, its game over for that general and is bodyguard...

    If you did not actually use those units for any fight during the battle however, then that is a bit screwed up...

    I have lost family members (generals) myself this way as they make up a large portion of my german horde's cavalry line...
