Appreciate the post Plato…
Sounds like the AI screwed up royally – and paid the price for it… You maximized the capacities you had available while the AI squandered his. It’s really a shame that the battle-AI is hardcoded. Had the Moors done a full frontal attack with everything (in a broad line) you could have very well lost that battle as it seemingly had better troops for close combat the you did. You correctly exploited the fact that the AI had no ranged troops. Had it there just been 1 archer-unit in the Moorish army - things could have been very different (you would at least have had casualties then).
...So folks, there you have it. Do not ignore ranged troops in your armies! Always make room for some ranged units in every army - if you want it to be able to counter such and other problems. I find it highly unlikely that you will be sorry for it.
- Cheers
