Should I guess you'll either need to kill the first enemy in battle with the general unit or take the first loss in multiple battles (in a row?) to gain this.
Have you been able to trigger it again ? Honestly I've been playing MTW since it came out and have never seen that happen (and I never auto-calc). But fair enough, will put my next king in a province and trigger peasants revolts to check that out (start with the Danes Early, invade sweden make it revolt three times in a row and see what happens). Will not be able to play for at least two weeks so if someone want to have a go before just let me know.
