Captain to General

[blurd01]

i got a guy adopted into my family yesterday which had 4star comand rating and was only 25years old. think it was through a battle where i was outnumbered 1:3 (1k:3k) and he gained me a heroic victory. after that battle i was given a chance to adopt him where i duely complied. people say that when a captain is promoted to general he would remain with his army but i dont think its true as i've finished scipii, juilli, greek and egyptian campaigns(now on carthagians) and my generals adopted or married into the family all appeared in my capital. unless i've never gotten a captain promoted i think a promoted captain would still apear in the capital as a general.

HEEHEE Seamus, I can see why you threw that challenge at me. :-P Of COURSE i have armies. As Armenia now I have three fullstacks and three more half-stacks running about at Turn 60, and as Greeks I actually, at the height of activity, had 11 fullstack armies and 20 diplomats (mostly bribed) running around.

I'm not just a bribing machine, you know... I'm all for the Integrated Diplomacy approach... sure diplomats are fine for defensive frontier duty, but on attack you always need the arms cos that's the fundamental language of mankind. :) But as you may have read I take up your challenge.
