Once it hits the high era and you can get pavise arbalesters it seems really easy to kill the AI generals. The last 3 battles IVe had as egypt ive killed the enemies generals.

The first was against the golden horde and my PAarbs easily killed him.

the second aginst the bysantines whose 41 katfraktoi i was able to pin with sarecen and flank with ghazi. SOmehow the katanks ended up facing my PArbs and i had them on fire at will so they just shot at kats whenever they got a clear shot and eventually the once fearsome 41 katanks became a bunch of tin cans filled with crossbow bolts.

The third battle was against the horde again and they did the same thing, i jsut pinned, flanked with abynissian guards(felt like using them even though ghazi are better) drew my forces away and shot them in the back with pavise arbs.
