How often do you see this:
The enemies' mighty army marches towards you, lead by their uber 10-star general. Then, the lines meet. Then, the general banzai-charges your line. Then, the general dies in 39 seconds, followed by their entire army routs
I find it harder to fight captain's forces, since the captain usually doesn't throw itself at your troops, then suddenly discovering he's impaled by 50 spears.
My guess is, the AI units are extremely reliant on their general, to the point of absurd. Maybe a bit higher morale all-round would help a bit? Not only is is weird fighting a battle like that, but it also seems unrealistic:
*general cops it on one side of the battlefield; you can't even see him from 10 meters away with all the units around.
*all enemy soldiers magically hear the sword penetrating their dear ol' general
*they decide to run away even though they still have 90% of men alive
