Mongolians for ever

I have just run into a very strange situation.

My large city (large stone wall, balista towers) has been sieged and attacked by 2 full Mongolian stacks. My defenders were a general, lots of spear militia, and 2 units of foot knights.

During the battle, my towers and archers burned/destroyed 2 enemy rams and siege tower, and the only thing left was 1 set of ladders. However mongolian infantry has been beaten by foot knights (no suprise) and all that was left was Mongolian cavalry. And here is the problem. They cant enter the city, and I am not stupid enough to leave it. I have been playing with time limit off, and Mongolians just sat there, doing nothing. After long wait (maybe sth will happen) I was forced to exit the battle which resulted in a defeat.

God damn the Mongolians, even time is on their side.

Hmm...

I wonder what effect hitting 'esc' and choosing 'exit battle' would have in a case like that?

I did press 'esc' and 'exit battle'. The effect was my defeat and loss of a city.

Apologies, I read what I thought was there not what was.

Thought you meant exited as in to go out and fight them.

That frustration, right there, is one of the bigger reasons why I chose to always have the time hourglass turned on in my battles...

Alatien, that is the exact same thing that happened to me when I first fough the Mongols. Now I will never play a battle again without the timelimit on.
