General unit

[Patricus Caesar]

Hello,

I want to make a role playing GJ Caesar unit. However, if I make him a general unit, his icon gets replaced and he takes on a new name. Is there any way to keep this from happening without resorting to using a named general to act as the legion tribune and get the points from that? Thanks

If you want your unit captain to have a surname, you will need to make him a named character, which means he will 'inherit' the family surname of his father. You can override this by giving him a trait with an epithet (epithets replace surnames). As for the card, unless you run your game on Alexander.exe, you cannot specify a portrait, the game assigns one randomly (sort of).
