Quite often actually, my games are usually Byzantine or English. the English get all those 3-4 star generals that you can train up and the Byz just start with awesome generals. However, I've never seen my last for a whole battle.

My jedi units can take out a CS from the front 1 on 1 but seldom more. AI Jedis can hack through a whole army that has good morale and is relatively(quite) fresh. Player jedi generals also tend to have less vices. If you've ever checked some of the AI generals(as I know you have), they get REALLY jacked up as time goes on. Perhaps imbreeding along with heavy drinking makes you insane AND spear proof, I wouldn't know.

Perhaps it works like the matrix or something...
