General routing vs General dying

[TwoKnives]

I don't know if this question really belongs to the multiplayer forum, but anyway witch is worse, having your general routing or having him die?

Hmm, I dont really know, since this is pretty technical I think some modders might have the answer to that.

Thread moved from RTW MP forums to RTW GD forums.

General dying is much more worse because when he dies you lose its bodyguards as well as in a whole unit, while general routing may give your general some poor traits but he will live and fight another day.

Besides in RTW generals are rare as compared to M2TW so they are essential units.

This is of course, extremely relative, i have myself used this method to dispose of terrible family members when your country is too small to even support their bodyguards, or when their traits are so horrible they aren't fit for anything.

Sometimes i even roleplay that they fight to the death.

Great idea

Lol, yeah I'll try that too. Also thanks to the other guys for their answers.

of course it's better to withdraw your general from the battle rather than let him die; they rarely receive bad traits for it

I think a general dying gives a bigger hit to your morale, but I'm not sure of the math involved.

I heard once general routing was larger... because general dying meant he died heroically? I'm not too sure. I think they're rather equal.
