Re: MTW: Building Hero Generals
Yes, they do. At least they do for me.
Most recently I've been playing VH's XL mod, and my Irish heroes are dying of old age. Which is sad, since I have to marry their replacements to yet another of my daughters...
But if I recall correctly, the heroes die in vanilla also.

Then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns and also he got a racecar. Is any of this getting through to you?"

Re: MTW: Building Hero Generals
Irish heroes never die - they just go to Tir Na Nog!
But seriously, all generals have a mortal span, then they are replaced - you will notice generals' names change every fifty years or so, as a new guy takes over. If you're worried about using up all your princesses, just be thankful that the "green generals" option isn't the default, else you'd be marrying them off to lesser men than their forebears.

Re: MTW: Building Hero Generals
No kidding.
Although my most recent hero death was a guy with the Seige Specialist trait--a cool one, one that I'd never before seen. So he dies, and the replacement is exactly the same. It's kinda...unrealistic? The new commander SHOULD have less stats...or at least DIFFERENT ones. You know what I mean? It is a different guy, after all.
I've not tried the green generals trick, but I might give it a go. I've heard, though, that it's implemented poorly. Is this the case?
OTOH, I don't remember if this is different in RTW and BI (since I haven't played them in so long!). Even if I was introduced to Total War by RTW.

I haven't tried the "green generals" myself, which is probably bit of a cop-out on my partIt would be more realistic. But I'd hate to lose those hard-won virtues....

If you treat people right they will treat you right... ninety percent of the time.
Re: MTW: Building Hero Generals
Yeah, macsen, that's why I haven't tried it either. I like seeing all of the naughty things my generals do in their spare time...
