Captured an Eagle?

[Viking]

IHe was also renamed to (get this)

"Numerius of Eagles." Really, he was. I didn't make it up.

I got such a general, too.

Arcadius of the Eagles, that's a badass name. Arcadius sounds more powerful than Flavius or something. What I'm wondering, though, is how you get to keep him so loyal even with that command rating?

Arcadius, sounds like a demon
I think capturing all those eagles boosted his command stats, at lest that´s what they do in RTW, so maybe in BI they do so, too.

Yes, capturing eagles boosts command stats in BI as well. This guy have three extra command stars thanks to three eagle capturees(sp?). It might be that eagles give extra command stars without reducing loyality.

Reloading my old save, I found that he had a loyality trait and was appointed Magister equitum, such that he should only have a total of 4 loyality points; so he must have been born quite loyal, that`s for sure.

Btw, here is an "updated" screenshot of his stats.



He now has 8 command stars instead of 6, but he`s still equally loyal.

what happens if they are less loyal? do they turn on you?

In BI both Eastern Roman Empire and Western Roman Empire have a shadow-faction, called Eastern Roman Rebels and Western Roman Rebels. Any rebelling generals or cities will join these factions, taking any units under their command with them. I read somewhere they may occasionally rebel back. Other factions don't have these shadow-factions, so their generals always stay loyal.

The Goths have them too. I think originally the Berbers and the Huns were supposed to have them too, but I think they got deleted ( there are traces of a Moors and White Huns faction, I think ).

On that loyalty thing, I was going for something different in my new Western Empire campaign, and I decided to let Gaul rebel. Within three turns, a massive Western Rebel Empire came up, which revolted back to me entirely in another 4 turns...

I've had this happen. The guy became a WRE rebel and then returned to the fold later on. The funny thing was that in the family tree, his original portrait was blacked out and he got a brand new one when he returned.
