    I think it's just a localization issue, my version couldn't open the replay, it showed up in the menu as a bunch of question marks (?) while in Windows the file had cyrillic letters.

    The crusaders had 2 archer units in the center, forward of their lines, and they just fired away while you were kiting the Templar Knights on your right side with horse archers. Nothing you could really do about it, but it looks like they took a toll. I probably would have charged them out of annoyance and lost a unit or two.

    My statement stays. When playing a battle with a huge number of units involved I never have enough time to spend for all parts of the battlefield. But in this case I guess I could afford casualties in the units that I had in plenty in exchange for the goal I had in mind. And eventually it was worth it.

    I have quite a number of other battles (both historic and in campaigns) saved. If anyone cares I could share them as well.
