    Yea...you really need to give more details

    agree w/ above, it sounds like he auto-guessed. might as well be playing civilization if that's the case.

    Yup, definitely sounds like autoresolve. That's why he doesn't know how he lost the battle.
    Defending a town/city using autoresolve isn't a smart thing to do. Personally I only use auto when it's that insignificant a battle I can't be bothered to do it myself. I would never autoresolve an important battle defending OR attacking, but auto'ing a city defense is just plain suicidal. You lose your defense bonuses.

    @XEHH II fight your battles, that's the cool thing about TW. You can outsmart your enemies instead of relying on rock/paper/scissors/numbers that auto will give you.

    Ok, i'll give more info, I have a full stack of pavise spearmen(10 units),Croat Axemen(2 units), Bulgarian Brigands(3 units) and Pavise Crossbow Malitia(5 units). My enemy had 5 units of peasant archers and 1 ram. I also had Cannon Towers and a Citadel. I did fight this battle but at the start the odds were 4:12 i don't know why.

    Did you actually fight it on the battlemap though?

    Well if you did autoresolve I don't see how you lost that way either. This is strange.

    He might have lost because of the advantages that the AI gets in autoresolve battles on high campaign difficulties.

    If this is correct then you would have needed to work really hard to lose.
