    He doesn't cost too much, just leave him a province behind enemy lines and use him to quell rebellions.

    (sniff) I think I smell burning - got to be an inquisitor! Might as well get a bit of training out of the death of this reject

    It's a style question, what rules are you playing by?

    I never disband, assassinate, or burn loyal gens, but he's no longer fit to command. Either give him a little province somewhere to manage (you can get his acumen up with a title or two) or slip him into the King's stack.

    Don't let him lead an army.

    Some of you are really cruel.

    How can you treat your generals who served you like that?

    I'm more interested in how the Danes became a Mediterranian power (never seen them further than northern Spain) than in his generals...

    And yeah, the guy is not that great, there's nothing there that noone new could learn. However, personally I tend to treat my generals well, so I'd just leave him to tend some godforsaken place. C'mon, give the man a break! There's no reason to burn the little fella just because he isn't Superman..

    I have played the Danes and had a couple of longboats in every sea lane and
    even captured Antioch, Palestine and Tripoli just for fun . It was on
    normal difficulty though . Constaninople was mine too . I
    enjoy playing as the Danes mainly because at the start you don't have so
    many provinces to manage (like HRE and Byz) and you can take any route
    you want.

    Actually, Danes were much bigger, but they are in war with 7-8 states continuesly, and then Aragon reappeared and push them from Spain, but they (Aragon) broke up in civil war (those rebels in Spain and Western France) and Fatimids then countered in Middle East...

    Agreed. Just make sure he NEVER commands an army, don't waste a good unit because the leader sucks.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    No, it's only imitation of middle ages, a period where this game is set to, where kings used to have their generals killed
    However, I agree ichi's solution to be the best one
