I just hope players will be honourable in E:TW aswell. Shooting a general makes it really hard to win. You cant do alot more than just sit where you are and survive the fight. Every own action you take will have bad morale with it. You're units will rout before engagement, even if the volley the enemy gave didnt hit so much or if there wasnt a volley ay all.
One time i killed a general on purpose. I cant remember against who, but if i see him ill remember him for it. It was a 1v1. I was defender, he attacker. We started both on low ground facing each other. We both let one good hill undeployed, out of fear for good defense their. I could only deply on a little part of that hill so it wasnt a good position for me to start on.
The battle began, the hill was free and we both rushed to it. I made it first, deployed my lines, while his artilelery was shooting at me from below. In the meantime he went over with his cav to my back, to provoke me, kill my gunners or general. In a combined pressure of infantry and cavlary I got more than half of his cav as he ran into a stone undergorund delaying him severly. A good start.
i put pressure with my cav on his flank, and got his guns. I even killed his lfank, He had to withdraw with the few cav unit and about 5/6 lines. He managed to kill my general though with cav that stopped routing behind my lines. I myself dont like general sneaking if a general is just nicely at its troops.
Still he was attacker, me defender, but he was trying to stall the game by retreating. After i said he should attack as he was attacker and said that it wasnt to nice to kill a general sneaky behind enemy lines. (i know of no record of cav trying to get behind enemy lines to kill the general) he told me to shut up and something more.
Then i deciced to shoot at his general. After maybe three shots it died. He was pissed as you can imagine, and quitted the game he was already losing.
