Sometimes I think that too.

I... I... don't know now. That isn't the kind of thing I would normally notice. But in my game so far the name has been correct. Does it get it wrong all the time normally?

Always the same. So if it displays once correctly it always displays correctly. Just have a look next time you beat an army in the field (and the army is eliminated)

Nope. But then, I never did in 1.1 either as far as I know.

As you said at point 1 :p

Okay I finally have a definitive answer and it's bad news. Since Ive no doubt come across as totally incompetant Ive provided a screenshot as proof

It's not a bug. The event triggers on YOUR general. Note how it says "enemy army routs." The event could have been more clearly worded as "your general caused the enemy army to route" but as it stands, while somewhat unclear, it is not wrong, nor a bug.

Then why did it in RTW show the enemy army's character name? IMO it just doesn't make sense that it should say your character's name if it says enemy army routs. Especially if you then see it with "your forces melt away"

Perhaps it was bugged in RTW and just now got fixed. Just because M2 does it differently doesn't mean M2 is wrong. Of course it looks wrong to you, because you're used to seeing it the other way...

I have no idea which way it is actually supposed to be, and don't think any of us really does... so it seems premature to label it a bug. Of course you're free to think as you wish. It wouldn't be the first time you've labeled something a bug without any clear indication it is not working as intended, though, and I'm quite certain it won't be the last either.
