"Their general has fallen"

[Telvido_cat]

In multi-general AI stacks does anyone know if the announcement "their general has fallen...." refers to any general or only the lead general. Can't figure it out.

I think it refers to just the lead general. The lead general in those armies is also the only one who gets XP or has his buffs applied to the army where as the other generals only provide morale to nearby units.

I get that message sometimes 5 times....

I think so too but not certain.

Me too but this would happen either way depending on the order the generals fall.

It can be any general. If you are in a tough battle and want the enemy to lose morale and rout you really want to kill all their generals. Annoying to do when they bring like 5 and they keep erratically running around the battle endlessly. I find that bows, even bow ashigaru, are surprisingly useful at killing off enemy generals around the midpoint of a battle when all the melee units are engaged in a giant mosh pit and the AI generals keep floating around just behind the battle.

I don't know if it plays out like this. If the AI has 3 generals, a 3* and two 1* for example and one of the 1* gens falls first I think there's no announcement.

Well I've fought many battles where multiple enemy generals died, and I got the "their general has fallen" announcement each time. Keep in mind that probably 80% of the time an AI general unit will rout before getting totally wiped out, and the general will miraculously run away and survive, and you won't get the message.

I have a screenshot of a battle where two generals survived, one solo and the other with 1 bodyguard after charging yari walls.
Meanwhile my generals will die fighting katanas with half the bodyguard alive

Luck of the draw.

It happens more often than it should.

Might just be another cheat that the Ai gets, makes it a bit more challenging if their generals are a bit hard to kill. Your own generals aren’t really supposed to be fighting anyway, unless you have them chasing archers or hitting an enemy in the back to make them break

[Elitewrecker PT]

Yep, which is why mine are always specced for stand and fight.
I know a full warrior general can be a monster, but the fact that simple bad luck even on a favourable engagement can throw that out of the window...

Same, they make for lovely stat boosts

I really HATE HATE HATE when this happens after a battle. Does this moron seriously think he can defend the entire castle all by himself? I wish the game would just make him die automatically instead of wasting a turn on pretending he can defend the castle.
