Splitting leaders

[HisMajestyBOB]

How can I split an army with special leaders in it so that one leader is in each army? Whenever I try to do this the generals stay with the origional army and refuse to go to the other army!

Don't ue "reorganize". Use "split". That will put a leader in the second group. If you have three leaders, you might have to use split twice to get the one you want isolated.

Press split.

Not reorganise.

Also, when you have several leaders in the same army, you can change the actual leader (or just check the other leaders) by clicking on the little orange arrow at the top of the army/fleet screen...


By the way, a related question....is it of any use having two armies fighting in the same province, each with a leader, or does the highest ranking leader take command of both armies in this case?

For instance if the leader of the first army has a better siege value and the leader of the other one a better shock value, will the the better bonus be used according to the current circumstances (siege, assault, attack by another army...) or will only the bonus of the highest ranking general be used, as it would happen if both were in the same army?

The highest ranked one is in command. Unless when it comes to siegeing, in which case the best one leads.

Thank you. But concerning siege, does the best takes command only if each general is in a different army, or also when both generals are in the same army?

Don't think it matters how many armies.
