    Default Another improbable victory for me!!

    That was one hell of a battle. Picture it like this: The seleucids have two cities left, one of them is Tarsus, which just so happens to be on my borders. I happen to have a lot of spare generals. 9 of them to be exact. So i get these generals from my capital at Nicomedia, and march them to Tarsus, picking up as many Mercenaries as possible, alothough they already had 3 thracians and 1 bastarnae.
    They finally reach Tarsus, where the situation is 1854 seleucids vs their puny 1000 man force. The four battering rams went in, slowly destroying each section of wall. Then, the infantry charged in, quickly massacring anyone who stood in their way, but unfortunately the Barbarians suffered heavy losses due to some rather annoying Militia Hoplites. But, the men persevere, and start charging up the streets, killing the feeling infantry. But the enmy decided to block up the entrance to the Plaza, causing a huge melee, in which many of my own men died. It was time to call in the cavalry.
    Each general had around 20 men, and all these men charged together, through their men and into the enemy, killing as they went. Within twenty seconds the enemy were slaughtered. A great victory, except for one problem. The battle results said the enemy deployed 1854 men. It said i killed 1864 men.

    Screenshots will be put up in the near future of the cavalry charge and the killing anomaly.

    I bet you trampled some of your own men. When i used to get friendly fire - it still showed up that I had kellied them.
    And your heart beats so slow, Through the rain and fallen snow across the fields of mourning to a light that's in the distance.
    Oh, don't sorrow, no don't weep
    For tonight at last I am coming home.
    I am coming home.

    Just to correct something, but for some reason i made a mistake. Ah well, that's being stupid for ya! There were actually 11 generals. For some reason i got it into my head there were only 9. And btw, i probably did trample my own men. When the 11 Generals charged into the plaza battle, a fair amount of my men flew in the air, and sorta landed on the enemy spears and swords. Ow....and as for the ones who didn't fly, they got crushed by my horsies as usual.
