I just watched a replay of a fight where I lost to Shadeswolf.
I wanted to see where my battlereport of that fight could be better.
As the battle progressed I could not belive I actually lost that battle, I was doing really well!
I began to be a little suspicious when my general and two other units routed five of his and ran them off. In the battle my general and two others had been surrounded and routed. So I waited patiently for them to return so that could happen. But no, they just sat out there.
Meanwhile I saw the real battle take form. I had retreated my remaingin forces back to a few houses on a little hill near the edge. And true enough Shadeswolf came at me, but this time he lacked the Arbalester he had in battle, yet I pulled my troops behind the houses for cover. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif
In the real battle he had an advantage of 400 to 200 but this time it was more equal, and the turning factor of the fight had been a unit of 16 Alans that had flanked me when I charged out (and nearly won). This time the 8(!!!) Alans came charging at me and broke before contact. My troops ended up winning.
I won a battle that I actually lost!!!
I nearly fell down my chair of laughter when I saw that... It was so funny I actually was acheing for a few minutes after the replay.
Clearly the patch had messed up the stats of the units and the results of the individual fights were changed due to this.
I didn't think that the replay was only a replay of our actions where the computer recalculated the fights.

You may not care about war, but war cares about you!
