    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.

    Err what are pavise spearmen?!?

    If you modded your units and maybe added a 0 too much somewhere then that would explain it.
    Want gunpowder, mongols, and timurids to appear when YOU do?

    Had to spend few hours demonstrating the fun of commanding a battle manually :P

    Pavise Spearmen are the elite spearmen of Hungary. Same or similar stats to armoured spearmen, I believe.
    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban

    Ah, I never played Hungary so that striked me as odd as even the AI Hungary never built them (or never got to...)

    hmm didnt he say he fought the battle, if you did it must have been a clinic on bad decisions.

    just yesterday i held my small castle with 4 spear militia and 3 peasant archers vs frances 5 mounted sgts and like 8 units of infantry on vh... it was epic. the cav pushed my inf back like they were toothpicks but my spears held long enough to slaughter all the cav and everyone routed, they made a few more attempts after recovering, but my archers on the walls would shoot em with fire and they never made it back to the gate before routing
    And when the brazen cry of achilles
    Was heard among the trojans, all their hearts
    Were troubled, and the full-maned horses whirled
    The chariots backward, knowing griefs at hand...

    Actually, with a few mistakes the situation he describes is sensibile IMHO.

    Cannon towers fire very slowly and are very innaccurrate against individual units so it's a near ceartantiy that the Ram made it to the gate, if he kept his units up on the wall so he could shoot them up a buit more then ran them down at the last minute he could have lost. Especially since troops emerging from the base of a tower fiht about as well as troops attacking a wall from a seige tower.

    He'd have still had to have been very unlucky and made a few more mistakes, but it is possibbile.

    Yes! I get the impression that there is something we are not being told about this seige, or about the state of the XehhII's installation.

    I noticed that on another thread he is claiming remarkable success in open battles, so something isn't quite right somewhere.

    They require a citadel barracks to train, so they are rather late... And the hungarian AI focus on horsies and milita, so they are also very rare.
