General Bodyguard

[Voldurak78]

I think that when you hire a general it need to create a 50 mens unit (number of men might change it's just a proposition) of cavalery named general bodyguard so we can now locate our general in battle, the same thing is for admirals, the only difference is that we choose in which boat he will be located.

A nice idea, already implemented, in the Total War franchise...

And why shouldn't it be implemented ?

Why would you wan't to see where your general is in battle?
It does not affect the outcome of the battle if he goes to the front or if he sits back in the rear, the bonuses he provides are already granted.

And adding 50 man united (even if the number might change) is nothing.

You are focused on Total War, forget about that, this is an extremely different franchise. You can't deploy your troops or command them in battle, therefore, the general having a group of bodyguards that go around giving morale and being used as shock cavalry is nonsense...

Proposing a feature similar to Total War doesn't make me a Total War fanboy, I largely prefer the Paradox Games and I just thought that knowing where your admiral is enjoyable (espescially after watching a documentary on the admiral Nelson).
