    the army strength bar has you in favor of winning the battle
    you really only get heroic victory/kick ass war traits when you win a few battles when you ratio is against you

    I faced a battle, as KH, that pitted two full stack armies of Epirotes against my one full stack. I didn't expect the 2nd stack to arrive for the battle as reinforcements, but lo and behold, they arrived and I was totally surrounded. Luckily the reinforcement army was most skirmishers, so my small contingent of Hippeis destroyed most of them while my hoplites, especially my spartans and general held off the phalanxes of the main epirote force. The end result was roughly 3000 dead epirotes, to my 250 dead. (large settings btw) Needless to say, I got my first heroic victory that day and their back was was broken. The only reason they exist today, with one city, is because I want them as a buffer against the Romani.

    I faced a unit of 205 Epirote Thorakitai
    They defeated my first assault but were destroyed on the second try.
    maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...

    I've seen the AI run around with 20+ unit stacks that require you to scroll to see all the units.
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

    In the Enemy army info scroll it only shows 9 units line, so it seems like a 22 unit army but its only 20
