Actually, what I want most is to make my Faction Leader live longer (enough to conquer Egypt) so that when he dies, he would be known as Quintus the Mighty with 10 command stars instead of just "The Brave" with 8.

Is it me, or does anyone else have a problem where the very first flaming onager stone lands smack on my 8 star general, killing him outright? This has happened more than once, and invariably turns battles that I should win into slaughters where I get my ass handed to me. The only solution I can find is to keep him well out of sight of the rest of the units, which is ahistorical and not terribly useful.

Nutmegger, maybe you offended someone and thats why your general is getting killed... Although my favorite tactic is to kill the general or captain early on with artillery. Useful trick if your playing the Parthians. The only nemesis I feared as Parthia was those damn Chariot Generals. Everyone else I mowed down like grass.

Elrond89, what are you playing on as Rome, Very Easy? Maybe Equites get a bonus, I don't know.

No, they just suck. You really need to pick a harder difficulty level man. Or do you mean Roman Cav?

I agree, if Equites can mow down chariots something is wrong. Cavarly, especially LIGHT cavalry, is not suppose to do well vs chariots with scythes. Not at all. Are you on easy or very easy or something here??

I have a british campaign going, 230's, and I still have the same faction leader I started out with, he's 95, and has outlived like five faction heirs.

Yeah Mike the Mighty, we would all like to know as the oldest Faction Leader I had only made it to 89.
