Best kill ratio was on my current campaign as the Danes, (yes, still at it). I'd built a Master Swordsmith, Master Metalsmith and Master Armourer all in Sweden and was producing from there Chivalric Men-At-Arms with gold armour and weapons plus a +1 starting valour. Putting them under the command of a 6* general then giving him a seal of office (Admiralty), made him an 8*. Off they march with a few crossbow men, some halbreiders for the flanks and another unit of Royal Knights and some moutned sergeants, all of whom have golden armour due to Master Armourers in Norway and Denmark. So, off they dander down to deal with a hell of a lot of Egyptians currently threatening me borders in Poland. The year I marched this army in it was to attack a force of 300, mostly Numidian Spearmen, Camels, Arab Infantry and some peasants, al lwith some kind of armour and weapons upgrades, under the command of a 3* general. easy victory I thought. Same year of attack, in march just under 4000 Egyptians, including Saracen Infantry, Ghazi Calvary and lots more Arab Infantry and Desert archers, under the command of 5* general. Oh dear. To make it worst, my retreat was cut off by a Polish sneak attack on Prussia (thanks for that). My only option was to slug it out.
So, quick math:
-Chivalric Men-At-Arms x 8 (All gold armour and weapons with +1 valour)= 480
-Royal Knights x 2 (Gold armour, plus 8* general) = 40
-Crossbow men x 3 (Gold armour) = 180
-Halbrieders (can't spell that to save me life) x 2 (Again gold armour)=120
-Mounted Sgts (Yes, gold armour too) x 2 = 80
Grand total of my forces = 900
versus
Assorted 4000 Egyptians with varying degrees of armour, weapons and valour plus a 5* general to lead including some princes.
Best possible result? = Take a few of them with us.
Actual result? =
Me: 210
Egyptians: 2895 dead, 400 captured.
Without a doubt, my finest hour. Gotta love it. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
