How to kill Kataproktai?

True. Combine high valour/high health and you're still in for a world of hurt.
Facing a Byz army as Brits, I had upgraded Billmen and Chiv Seargents; the Byz commander and a prince killed over 1200 of my men before being subdued. The commander died to a merc HA as he tried to walk off the field. I actually felt bad about ending him like that alone he accounted for better than 700 of my casualties.

Wow, that is some heavy duty killing . I would have been tempted
to restart the battle and try to take him out early somehow ,
but maybe not. Very impressive .

Yeah, while your 9 stars fall easily to AI foot soldiers, surrounding a AI 9 star seems to just give it more to kill...
