Yup. If your general is bloody, you'll hear "I want to see blood! I want to bathe in their blood! I want to bathe in their blood for a week! Now go KILL THEM ALL!!"

Deranged: "...but our pointy things are pointier than theirs. Yes, much pointier..."

Social drinker: "The first man to the enemy gets a jug of my finest wine!"

My generals all seem to end up blood thirsty, deranged drinkers!

Maybe it's just the way i play!

Nice to see we'll get no more God Fearing Atheists like in MTW tho!

Lastly Im getting lots of drunkard, deranged, minions, but really good commanders and wall defenders..... Curious.Specially when combined with Understanding of Mathematics and Famous Orator. (And yes, I have a guy who has all of them + Drillmaster). Go figure.....

i'm a big fan of the new v&v/family tree system my favourite character ever produced was Doros the Mad, at age 16 he was a military genius, prim, a good defender and a good management vice, he also hooted.
It was the hooting that was his downfall, it seemed to get worse the more battles he won too. I was the greeks and by his 30th birthday (and maybe almost as many battles) he was not only a bomb general. He also spent hours every night drowning spiders in vinegar. By age 45 he was painting his bottom blue. :(
still he was by far and away my best general and i used him in practically every battle... till he got the plague that is.
ps:- i'm still hoping CA adds a tombstone feature(as previously posted by a poster who's name i cna't remember sorry), ie being able to mousever dead family members and see their old stats as i feel it would add some continutiy to the game. I don't know it would have been cool for me to be able to compare Doros's traits to some of his grandchildren further into the game.
