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.....

Deranged drunkard minion drillmaster. That's, um, an interesting person...
hmmm...double post, somehow... 
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.

Agreed.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
sounds like a good idea the tombstone thing.
I once had a general that was a casual adulter, drinker, minion and had a retinue of a drinking buddy and mistress
My current faction leader has Legendry commander, infantry commander of genius, Bloodthirsty and craven coward

Agreed here also, has this been mentioned on one of the feature request threads?i'm still hoping CA adds a tombstone feature(as previously posted by a poster who's name i can't remember sorry), ie being able to mouseover dead family members and see their old stats as i feel it would add some continutiy to the game.

Anyone who deliberately keeps their insane general out of battle is missing a lot of fun. All you have to do is give him an onverwhelming force to make up for the morale loss. The speeches alone make him worth it.
Much to my concern, my completely insane general gave a very normal speech before a battle with some Britons. He outlined the odds, the forces, and possible tactics. Only at the very end did he promise the troops that "Every man who survives will be my daughter! Petticoats for everyone!" At which the troops cheered.
I was glad to see I hadn't sat through the speech for nothing.
Anyway, don't leave those barking mad generals at home. Even if they get slaughtered, they're much more fun at the front. And it's not as though you want them governing, anyway.
