    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.

    I must admit (not proud of it though) that I sometimes autoresolve sieges (when I am sieging) when I have failed to seize the settlement by hand. Indeed I get remarkable victories with minimal losses when I have been slaughtered during the real deal.

    I'm definitely guessing modded units to make some properly über.
    Reason are the battle odds.

    He would never in a normal game have 4:12 (which actually wouldn't show as that but as 1:3) with his army compared to 5 peasant archers.

    Thats what I was thinking too...the phrase 'hoist by ones own petard' springs to mind.

    yep mods, but why would you be purposefully using weaker units when you modded other units stonger unless he wanted a harder game in which he shouldn't be compaining about losing

    Maybe he couldn't get the same units over to his town in time. Obviously he only modded some units, not all.
