Is it just me or does the battle recorder not capture battles precisely?

I just played a few co-op LAN games with my friend and then immediately watched the battle-recorder footage. I could have sworn that the battle recorder didn't show exactly what we did at certain points during the game.

For example I specifically remembered my pharaoh’s guards devastating a Selucid elephant charge yet in the replay it never occurred. In the reverse situation I noticed in the replay that my main formation came under attack from an onager at one point but during the battle I had eliminated the enemy onager crews early in the action and I don't recall them becoming active again.

As I haven't been toking on the crack pipe I wonder if perhaps the battle recorder just provides an approximation of the battle rather than an exact record of the events?

On a slight related matter, is there a way to rewind during replays?

Thank you,

M

Yeah, I agree. I recorded a miraculous battle on my battle recorder. When I played it, they did something COMPLETELY different!!

Indeed, the Recorder changes the battle. It is slightly annoying and is one of the reasons I can never be bothered to record anything.

Is there a way to fix that?

Hey, what does Total Realismo do?

The recorder doesn't really 'record' the battle like a video, it keeps track of a few things and calculates the outcome again during replay, one of the reasons that a mod can totally mess up your replays.
