i had a multiplayer game like that where i was trashed except for my lone carth infantry general being chased by some selucid light cav. they chased him for half the length of the map, then he routed them. and my opponent had to bring up heavy cav and elephants from the other side of the map to take him down, and it still took a while. he'd get knocked down and get up again. he must have fallen down at least 6-7 times.
