Does anyone else get weird autocalc results from time to time? I had one playing as the Greek Cities on Hard/Hard huge unit sizes where the Roman force (4 Hastati, 1 archers, 2 velites and 2 generals bodyguard, general had 4 stars) besieged Syracuse where I had 3 Armoured Hoplites, 1 mercenary Hoplite, 1 archer, 1 peltast, 4 hoplites, 2 militia hoplites and one generals bodyguard (3 stars), all at experience level one. I sallied immediately and did an autocalc, and the result was a draw (as you dont usually suffer defeat from sallying), yet I only killed just over 100 Romans for the loss of over 1000 of my own troops! I have found that autocalc results versus Romans often give results hugely skewed in the Romans favour. Does anyone know the formula used to work out autocalc results? I thought it was basically attack/defense values of units, plus general bonuses, but it must not be so, as I would have won that match up then. The only thing I can think of is the additional missile attack that the Romans have must give them a massive advantage, due to their fairly large size of Hastati and Principes.
