Suicide generals

Anyone else having issues with thier generals running straight towards the enemy to find his army decided not to follow?

No, but I killed a guy whom that happened to lol...

Yes, my general has attempted to solo a few stacks before. I've learned you can't just drag and drop. I started selecting the army first, and only then dragging the general in.

I think, when you drag, it automatically selects the fastest units in some/all cases. I've had it happen to infantry, when what I really wanted was the militia.

Are you moving the army with drag & drop ? All in one action? Does this happen all the time? Need more info on that.

I sent a pm to you labeled Sky Menace because that's where the situation lies. Due to how the movement window is set up (land, water and air separate screens) I have to move my general and my bombers separately out of a city. now if the city isn't walled up and if an opponent has his attack move between my moves, either my bomber stack stays and my general goes flying off in his transport (most likely straight into an enemy's city) or he stays and the bombers move which can be equally as bad if there aren't other units there to protect him.

This isn't a problem with the drag and drop feature i haven't had any issue when my stack is not moving out of a city, even if its attacked.

I do have a random question do general bonus apply when the general is inside a transport?

You're right, it's quite complicated to move the transported units + other units with the current system. Same happens when you want to escort a loaded air transport with bombers, for example. We still haven't found a good solution on how to simplify this.

General's bonus always applies to the stack he's in, even when transported.
