So how come generals have lower stats than troops?

So how come most generals are weaker than "grunt" units. Even FP generals have lower stats compared to many "grunt" units. It's kinda sad when you're getting ordered around by some chump, isn't it?

ROFL. Welcome to my life.

Of course they're not ALL chumps, but the minority is chumpy enough to drown out the competent ones.

So, you want heroes powerfull than troops. What about Cronus? All the heroes must be powerfull than it?

I don't think a phoenix or dragon can be more powerful than a person. Do you really think any general they make can outmatch any of those or cronus?

dont forget special abilities

gee, other than Phalanx's..Chronus (and its heads), Hellkite minions hellslayer knights and a few others..the generals you find in the water realm and demon realm are better than the rest of the units..not sure what the problem is..most commanders that led their troops into battle stood there in the back for a reason..they knew the guys doing the fighting were generally better at it then they were

Isn't this how it is at work too? You have to understand, most generals, even in modern armies, aren't generals or commanders because of physical prowess, more for the art of war and brains.

Too bad the CA generals don't have a stat for "strategy" and "tactics".

The descriptions of them are sadly out of touch with thier actual utility in the game:

Dragan, for instance...

"A mighty and highly skilled warrior, anyone Dragan commands has the potential to match strength with the fiercest of warriors."

And yet he's a 5/4, at level 4.

Key word, Modern- in historical armies, (which generally are closer to fantasy armies), you generally led from the front- of course, most "armies" were closer to mobs, but still...
