i am starting a forest battle with a family member that i bribed from another faction. as my army moves forward in the forest, the units get bunched up. right before the 2 armies come into contact, i charge my phalanx units. immediately, my general goes down. as i'm trying to figure out what, i realized that his bodyguard unit had been bunched up with one of the phalanx units and when it charged, he literally got a spear in the back. it was hilarious. i guess my native troops didn't take too kindly to being led by a traitorous foreigner.
