I just had a truly terrible one lol

Army 1

5 Units of town watch 0 exp, 5 barbarian mercenaries 1-2 Exp, 3 Spanish mercenaries 1 exp, 1 heavy peltast mercenary group 0 exp, 2 Rhodian slingers 2 exp

Army 2

1 Barbarian mercenaries 2 exp

Enemy

Spanish faction leader with 100 early bodyguards 4 exp

I walked both armies upto him, he charged Army 2 who I halted and then warcried and his charge litterally completely wiped out all 240 before it slowed from charging speed, he lost 0 men.

He then turned and charged the town watch in army 1, who held with no casualties from the original charge, I completely surrounded him withevery melee unit in my army
with the slingers and heavy peltasts firing on him.

He lost 0 men

He then routed my barbarian mercenaries which auto routed the rest of the army except the slingers, every man in my army who was routing ran into the generals unit and he killed 1500 men within about 40 seconds.

He lost 0 men still.

He ran down most of the routing units but 1 Barb merc 40 strong regrouped as did 1 spanish merc 60 strong. He charged them and they were vapourised.

He had still 0 losses.

He then charged the slingers who had him under fire most of the time, they oddly enough didnt immediately rout and caused 34 casualties in melee before routing and being destroyed.

SO the end numbers were

Close defeat (apparently!!!)

Me Start 3020 men, end 114 men

Spaniards Start 100 end 66 men



I was so sickeningly annoyed I forgot to get a screenshot but the general is still there if you want me to march another pretty much fullstack on him and get another terrible defeat.


I know im on Vh/Vh but 100 men killing 3000 While surrounded with no advantages to speak of is ridiculous :/

This is going to hold back my conquest of spain for at least half a century (im going to have to wait for the guy to die of old age lol)
