Playing as the Turks, fighting the Byzantine. I'd taken all the land up to Constantinople. They used a boat to sneak across to Georgia. I retreated my units into the fort for that year, then launched a counter-attack. I had the superior numbers, but my general was a 0-star, they had their King who was a 7-star. The fighting was fierce, but most of my army got routed. My horse archers continued to pound the 3 remaining Kat units, killing one, and leaving the other 2 at 5 and 6 men, respectively. The King had the 6 men. At that point, I was out of arrows, so had my units withdraw.
What I didn't factor is was the "siege". The siege damage took place, I lost 12 units, they lost 20. 20 being more than they happened to have, resulting in the death of their King and one of the heirs.
I'm sure I would have been able to retake the province the next turn, but I was quite surprised at the way it happened. In fact, I didn't actually get the province back, but they had no defenders, allowing me to simply de-garrison my troops and take the province.
Considering how many losses I would have taken to the 2 Kat units (both were rapidly approaching 'Jedi' levels at that point), it worked out very nicely for me.
