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.
Don't tell me you're one of those death before dishonor types. How could that happen? I know the AI occasionally presents its back to my cavalry and I hope you didn't. The goofy AI always likes sending the general in with, and sometimes ahead, of its army leading to isolation and death. That's strange.
