I ran my unit of generals ragged once, I just thought they moved slower and had a tendency to get beaten in arm wrestling contests.

I came, I got ratted, I threw up.

I thought units could only die from exhaustion when they were swimming. That happened in a game where the Vandals attacked across a river. Some of their units spent quite a lot of time in the water, and next I see a river filled with floating corpses! Archers didn't shoot them, so the logical explanation is that they got exhausted and drowned.

Re: Yipes!
You had a unit die from exhaustion? Never ever ever ever seen/heard that happening. I have chased enemy infantry round and round even when they have been exhausted when the battle started, but they have never just dropped due to exhaustion.
I'm sure you are sure, but you want to check they had no archers nearby to kill them on auto fire?
Maybe just me, but I thought units would only rout due to unhappiness caused by exhaustion.

Re: Yipes!
A lie. Units just can't die from being tired. Period.
"Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."
