Assigning units to generals, etc

[Bombax]

Hi folks,

Just wondering if there is a clear explanation somewhere of the limits and mechanics of the following -

i) Transferring generals during deployment phase

ii) Allocating units to generals during deployment phase.

My question is prompted by a current situation where I have two sub generals for my Seleucid army, one of whom has a single unit in his command (aside from the unit he is initially paired with), and the other of whom has no additional units in his command. I'm perplexed by this, especially given that I can't allocate new units to either general's command. There must be a rationale behind this, but is it spelled out somewhere?

Cheers,
Bombax.

Thanks. Some of what I need is no doubt in there, but...
Are the rules for this set out clearly and simply somewhere???

Nope. The system will change with the next patch v1.03.

You should be able to allocate units to generals. What do you see when you try to do this by clicking on the unit and then right-clicking on the general?

The 'allocate' button is crossed out. Maybe this is because I'm trying to allocate infantry units to a mounted sub general? Then again, this is why I would (personally) find a clear explanation of the rules for this part of the game helpful...

What does the crossed out button look like - a plumed helmet or some squares and a triangle? If you mouseover the crossed-out button it should tell you why it's not being allowed.

Thanks, I'll try that - I'm currently mid-battle but will try your suggestion next time I'm in the deployment phase.
