Yes! Another Man of The Hour! - oh wait....he's dead? :(

[Akimbo]

Well I've never seen this happen before....I just crushed a french army which vastly outnumbered my own through a well planned out battle.....as expected my "general" was offered the chance for adoption to become a real general. Excellent, accept him....instantly I get a message saying adoption failed, he's suddenly died. Any ideas what happened? I don't really feel like fighting that battle again to see if it's a fluke or something I can't avoid...

I've played enough to witnessed this happen to me many times. It might mean that on the way to the royal palace, where he'd be crowned, maybe he fell of his horse or vendeta assassination was carried out on him. Who knows...

This has happened to me in a region completely surrounded by my own regions so i doubt assassins could get in. As for the horse that would be a good pop up

the "general" you were offered to adopt is usually the "general" your army has during the fight, so if he died during the fight you will be given the chance to adopt him, but since he's dead, once you adopt him you get the message that he died .... at leasts thats how its happened to me a few times

[Akimbo]

Yeah but he did fine during the battle, his unit lost barely 10 people lol ^^ oh well, guess I'll have to peel off another general to take his place....

I think the 'Adoption Not Completed' scroll has a random chance of coming up... I've had it happen with Candidates for Adoption (many many many times) but never with Men of the Hour... interesting.

[The Bronze boy]

Ah yes its random chance of happenin, but what if it did tell you how he died apart from just sadly passed away.

[Werner von Urslingen]

I think it actually hasn't something to do with the death of the general! The event always happens, if the army moves away from the battle ground, for example, if it moves into a conquered city. The game can't spot the candidate on the field and says he is dead...

I've had it happen when I sallied forth when I was besieged. Perhaps I already had a full stack in the city and the game couldn't create an extra bodyguard unit for that army.

Never seen that, when i would sally, the 'new' general would be outside of the city, like creating more units if it's full, they would be outside the city. That's messed up

[Wizzerdrix]

Yer, it happens at random. Tough luck but realistic enough.

lol. thats weird.
