If the Egyptians killed 722, how can I have 1,027 remaining and started from 1,451 men?

Zombie re-animation?

Did some of your men heal after the battle?

**HarunTaiwan** · 02-16-2005, 06:35

How can they "heal" if they have been "killed?"

But I'm guessing you are right.

Men get healed after battles. More with decent traits/anciliiaries.

Well, it is a problem of terminology. The game considers a man "killed" when he's incapacitated for that battle. The reason for the incapacity could be a non-fatal wound, so at the end of the battle some of the wounded can be healed, especially if your general has certain traits/retinue.

Also troops that fled from the field get couted as "killed".
That brings some crazy "healing"-rates sometimes.

whats the problem

seems like a win win situation to me

**Old Celt** · 02-16-2005, 16:56

Right, I think the term, "casualties" would have been clearer, because, not all casualties are fatal.

Holy crap, they got a lotta your guys for such a small army against a much larger one...

ýes man how do you managed to get your man slaugtered like that, fieldmarshal and editor Nelson, relieve this man from duty

**Slaists** · 02-16-2005, 20:42

Well, men healed do not appear on the "killed" list usually. If you open the "details" scroll you will see separate accounting for those...

Yeah, I lost a lot of men...that's why I looked at the casualties quite closely.

I can't remember why...but it was a siege and I think they had bowmen on the walls, and then chariots chasing me around and then finally axemen in the square. My units got all lost in the city and attacked piecemeal.

I was a bit impressed. Needless to say the population paid for the intransigence of the garrison.
