I'm just posting to complain about the undeserved reputation my King has just earned, and to wonder if many others have experienced this.

I'm playing a campaign as the Spanish, MTW/VI 2.01. There appears to be a glitch on VI which means that your king is not automatically treated as the general of an army in which he appears. In this particular battle, against some rebel remnants of the Horde, my king was expected to take command but in fact a lowly commander of Jinettes with one more star took charge.

During the battle I made the mistake of allowing this general to get isolated ahead of the main army and sandwiched between two units of Mongol Heavy Cav. Not surprisingly, he turned tail, sending waves of panic through the army. King Alfonso did not panic, though. Gathering his knights around him, he boldly counter-charged, engaging the Mongol cav in a bitter and bloody melee which ended when I brought up two units of Chiv Sgts on either side. The Spanish rallied, the rebels (Lithuanians I think) turned and fled.

And the outcome: King Alfonso, hero of the hour, picks up "Good Runner" and "Doubtful Courage" vices.

I'm still reeling from the injustice...
