German Bodyguard over powered.

[Chester]

German General units are tougher than Gestae. I surrouned a General with 5 units of triarii, pelted him with javelins, and hit him with 1 round of calvary.

The guard fought till the last man, which of course was the general. I knocked him down 9 times before I killed him. He was engulfed by at least 500 units.

AutoResolving battles against an army with more than 1 german general unit, regardless of the odds being in your favour, almost always results in a huge loss for the player.

They never flee. German Generals have numerous stars, are impossible to assassinate, and do not route...ever. They chew up calvary, be it my general or regular, like nothing else.

I'm playing on VH battles and H map.

The stats are balanced for Medium battles so on VH it may be VH to kill some units ...

[Simmons]

Yeah don't play on very hard if you want realistic battles the AI gets a whole lot of attack and moral bonuses and on top of that the EB AI generals get huge command star bonuses making it dam near impossible to get anyone routing until his dead.

Personally I play on medium battle difficulty seems to feel right just attack with a smaller force than the defender and its a real challenge.

[QwertyMIDX]

Yeah, all enemy units are overpowered on VH, there are a bunch of +7 stat bonues.

[Avicenna]

Play medium and a unit of triarii and then hammer and anvil should rout it.

Is it a challenge on medium? How large are your armies?
