Basing arguments off computer game mechanics = bad idea!

God, you wouldn't believe how pissed off I was when I was trying to finally terminate a war with the HRE. Their max-command king has had most of his army disintegrate around him over the course of three hours, and I surround him with five units of Byzantine infantry.

He fights his way through, killing scores of men who stand in his way. I realize that if he escapes, he will return to lead another army into battle, and his vast command abilities will make another very tough battle.

I select every cavalry unit on the field of battle and order them to charge. As an afterthought, I select every other unit that can get their in time to take up blocking positions.

After much expense and heartbreak... I capture his ass and execute him. Much to my pleasure, this terminates the faction. What an asshole he was.
