Because the game doesn't tell you what type of terrain you're going to be fighting on before you enter a battle... And i don't save/load unless something daft happens, like getting a crushing defeat and losing 1600 men to a city with 1 4 star general and his 60 bodyguards and 1 unit of liby-pheonecian spearmen, despite having a full legion of over 3000... Which happened to me earlier btw.
