Commander health in battle

[ViRAL]

Now I know this might be a weird place to ask, but TATTW is the mod that made me realize how much I miss something like this. I am a little new to the mod and the game (not to mention to the entire series) so forgive me is this is covered somewhere obvious.

Is there any UI option, or mod, or submod or tweak I can apply to see my commander's health in battle?

There's nothing like leading the charge of my Orc army with my faction heir himself, but I'd really love some indication as to how far from death's door my champion was.

As it stands, the only way I have of telling how well my commander is doing in combat is to select his regiment, scan through thousands of units for one of his very vague features (easier with some races than others), and see how much blood there's on his armor.

Is there a better way of getting ANY information about how close my commander is to death?

I'd prefer a health bar, or a hitpoint-number or something. Am I alone in this?

That's too bad. Thanks though!

Take a unit and designate it as the generals personal bodygaurd. Send this unit in to attack the point where the general will charge a few seconds before the commander of your troops takes the plunge. The additional unit acting as the generals personal meat shield will render him all but bullet proof.

Example: Playing as Agmar, I have a unit of the cheap armour piercing orc boys preform the role. That same unit stayed with the faction leader throughout the whole campaign. "Combined Arms" For the Win...

At first I was like you. But I learnt not too be risky with my general, even he's an Elf warrior in mithril equipment.
I think it's better without health bar: some generals had bad luck in history, killed in one shot, and there is not those critical strike in the game (despite being crushed by siege engine..). So when you don't know exactly his health, it makes random for us like if there was a critic system.

Follow Tortas advice, have a charge meatshield.
