    Default Worst Faction leader ever?



    So... hes a incompetent defender, poor infantry commander, no command no management low influence and 54 years old. And hes the leader??? How is he so awful when he's that old? Surely hes had some experience to at least give him command. And the last thing Persia needs with its laughable infantry is a guy commanding it who's terrible at commanding infantry anyway.

    This should be a fun battle hehe killing off Persia's huge weak armies is fun.

    Is it just me or is the AI even stupider in the expansion as Persia routinely charges cavalry DIRECTLY onto my phalanxes i don't even have to move them and they sent their Mararin archers who are worthless ina melee to attack my general. They are useless at shooting too however as they have 5 missile attack. I remember reading Persia had bad commanders so maybe that's why they are so dumb and the leaders so useless.

    Thats is really funny. I have seen worse though. On my first campaign I was the Julli and I didnt understand how to set the Faction Heir. So I had a guy who was 75 and had lived his entire life in Siciliy. He had 0 command, management, and influence. He was a drunkard who had -5 personal security, was a poor farmer, bad with taxes, and increased squalor. I thought that i would be fine and he would die in a few years. However, he lived to be 106 . 62 turns of an awful FL .

    LOL

    i guess the RTW game just dealt you a bad hand there

    i usually set my faction heirs to be the most powerful commanders so that when they become the king they get a much larger bodyguard. i then use this improved general to rampage through the world.

    Usually towards the end of campaigns when I stop micromanaging I end up with whatever rubbish as my leader because I let the computer decide.

    I watched once on History that Darius who confronted Alexander the Great was the the worst king which Persia ever had.

    I would agree, Darius fled on first sign of trouble, and just could not win against Alexander despite having the advantage and several occasions in which to win.

    Darius was so bad in game on purpose- so that Alexander could defeat him. I had more of a fight from Memnon.

    Darius was selected to be persian leader because of his skills in 1v1 battles where he was one of the persian champions. However he was also chosen because he was seen as easily controlled by the grand vizier of the empire
