let me clarify what I meant by "leftovers" with an example:

I was fighting the Greeks it was a huge battle, one of those battles that luck determined who would won, and this time it was me , after all the smoke had settled I waited for the victory screen, but it never came, I look back at my main defence line and a group of hoppies was still walking around killing my men!! (my first encounter with Spartan hoppies) all alone and refusing to scape they were on a suicidal mission!! Anyways I took the nearest horses that I could find and hit them on the back... they didn't even move, did it again... nothing , finally I cleared the area and send in my archers, after a while they finally left.. those guys really showed my Romans a good lesson on commitment!!

I just wish I could hire some Spartans as mercenaries!!
