Has anyone witnessed/recorded a soldier dying for what appears to be a totally numbers, non amination based situation? as in, no one was around the soldier to hit him, or its unit was under missile fire but the soldier didnt appear to be 'hit'....?

I could swear I (might) have seen it once...and only once, in a repelled seige attempt, an enemy unit was routing but got chaught in the gate, resulting in single file unit spreading accross half the map, under arrow fire and in close combat in parts, I'm (pretty) sure some dude in the middle fell over simply from 'too much damage' or whatever.

Then again, the unit was under fire from the city's towers, and I could also swear that I've seen ram's catch on fire in between salvos from the towers...?

Other games that use damage per second with a 3D model seem to drop amination accuracy in favor of numbers crunching, TW has units with only 1 HitPoint so the reverse is achievable...although I tire of having to guess weather a soldier in plate (8 armour) with a battle axe (20 attack) is gona get undone by a 3/3 (or whatever) peasent simply because hes big and slow and the peas'y is light and quick.
