    Hi guineawolf,
    Sorry, but in that situation, only the primary general, the one commanding the whole battle, has effects on his troops. Sorry.

    not entirely true.. if ya main general dies in battle ya still have your second one.. it's good to have a back up in case one of your generals die and ya out of town.

    I'm not too sure about that redriver. In my experience, if the main general dies/runs away, the second guy simply acts as heavy cavalry - he never seems to take command. However, he still, strangely, gets traits out of the battle such as Good Commander, even though he was not commanding it. The same is often true for Captains and the man-of-the-hour event - my Captain died, but the new Captain of the army gained the prestigious reward of adoption.

    One of the developers posted a long time ago that the game has no concept of a second-in-command. However, it appears any post-battle traits go to whoever is commanding the stack after the battle.

    This has happened to me as well. It was very nice to get a free general with 2 command stars when my old general died because I wasn't paying attention.
