Some Questions From Someone on their 1st Campaign

[Thaatu]

What should I do with generals who have no-one to fight yet but who I don't want to sit around and get lazy? Would you just leave them outside of a city?

In battle, when the lines are locked, try taking a family member and his chariots for a ride behind the enemy, throwing javelins at their back. The added morale damage caused by chariots should make the enemy rout pretty easily. The only time when you should use chariots in melee is when chasing routing units.

Also, my faction leader, Barae was in Ratae for sometime while I built up my forces and then took part in the capture of Caern-Brigantae and Ynys-Mon which earned him the uncomfortable supervisor trait. I moved him back to Ratae to be Governor where he has sat ever since but every few turns I get the same message from him saying he is unconfortable and "please lord, move me to a settlement so I can be a governor again" (or something to that effect). Is this a bug of some sort or am I doing something wrong?

He's saying he wants a bigger city to rule over. The trait itself is pretty harmless, so ignoring it won't do much damage.

I apologise if I've missed all this info elsewhere on the forum, I did have a look and I hope no-one minds it being such a long post. Any help on these queries would be much appreciated.

I love it how people nowadays are afraid of the EB teams answer and always apologise in advance.

Edit: Oh, and what do I do with surplus family members? I give them a small taskforce, with which to screen a bigger army. That taskforce always moves next to the army so if either is attacked, the other will come to aid. Then, if the reinforcing army is the smaller force, I put it on AI control. That way the FM will gain command traits much faster than in manual control. I don't know why, but autoresolve and AI control gives out more traits to the leader.
