Speaking of which, is it just me, or do captains/generals seem to be extremely fragile in M2TW? If you can pull of a good cav charge on the general's corner of the unit you are aiming at, unless he's got something like 23420934092 HP, he's going to die in short order. I don't remember this happening at all in the other games...

ROFL !! Well I just started an Egyptian campaign yesterday and the Mongols arrived last night. Same thing, the Mongol general was Dread +8 or so, I ran around with my General and Mamluks around the back, charged the Mamluks and reared with my general.

KIA on impact, from the rear.

Yes my general died too ofc, in the ensuing battle, and so did +-700 other Egyptians, but so did a +-1025Mongols. I think the Mongol general had +6 Experience, while mine was a green (zero exp) 22 year old.

I'd say I was lucky though, it seems to me experience makes a difference.

Then again SOOOOO MANY times I've had to chase a routing general ALL OVER THE MAP, even though he was surrounded by 10 units he still got away, AND he was green.
