Which General is in charge ?

[Severous]

RTW V1.5 H/H

Hi.

This battle involves 5 stacks of units.



Dacia is the attacker. They have one General in their top stack, and two within their second army.

Brutii is the defender. There is one General in the third stack.

I am Brutii and I can turn off the AI control of my armies. So I can command them all in the battle.

My question. Are my overall forces being 'commanded' by the Captain in the first army?

It seemed to be.
- Only the captain had the 'rally troops' ability.
- It was very hard fought.
- Did feel I was '0' command against enemy '7' command
- My troops routed quickly. The Dacians fought hard.

I had hoped my General would take over command in this situation...or at least provide his bonus to my troops once he came onto the battlefield and merged into the other forces already present.

What do you think ? Does only the 'top'commander, as in listed at the top, provide any bonus to your troops ?
