    Default Wonder if they plan on fixing suicide diamyos

    This seems to be one -of many- the deveoper simply cannot fix. We saw it in Shogun, with patches and Mongol Invasion. We saw it in Medieval with patch and in Viking Invasion. And then there is Rome. I'll take the safe bet and say this will also be a problem in this installment.

    No need to be excused!

    It is a typo of daimyo, the word used for the generals (or rather faction leaders?) from Shogun: Total War.

    Could you elaborate further? What do you mean by "fixing suicide daimos"?

    It's a well known problem with all TW games that AI generals are utterly suicidal, and go charging into the fight oblivious of the fact they'll die in seconds. Thus, once they're dead, the enemy lose moral and route, causing battles that should take hours to end in minutes.

    Leaving aside the typo it's the Japanese word/term for feudal lord. Litterally it means either land lord or land owner with tax excemption.

    Just faction leaders, they were the only ones with a bodyguard unit. Generals were any unit.

    Thanks for the explanations. I would have remebered without the typo, but it was long long ago I played STW. Words generals, pharaohs etc are much more on my mind now:)

    Ah yes, I remember the sort-of-random command star assignments!
