Today, I tried assaulting again with about 200 troops and played it out myself. Here's what happened. I figured last time, all my troops must have died from arrow towers. Not so. Only about 10 troops died from arrows or boiling oil. What happened was that the computer made the 1 Kataphraktos gaurding the castle a god. He himself killed almost 200 men, down to my one last soldier. Then, the Kataphraktos and my Urban Militia traded blows for about 15 minutes. THey would still probably be fighting now, hours later, had I not just routed the soldier to get it over with.


Simply put, the game hates me. Is this some glitch I am experiencing, or are Kataphraktos supposed to be able to kill that many people. IF so, why couldn't he kill my last man?


WTF?
