    Actually, I found that you take horrendous casualties if your men just sit there without you doing an action, but if you actually *click* the enemy unit once they're partially on the wall you'll take much fewer casualties, presumably because now your men are all trying to fight rather than one at a time.

    I literally lost 50% of one unit until I realized I should click them, after which I only lost about another 10%, and that was with the majority of their army still remaining for me to kill.

    Trust me, I watched my Triarii during the entire duration of that fight and I saw them fight and push the Ambushers back. They were not just sitting there and doing nothing. I ordered them to attack and they did.

    BTW: One time I was sieging Alexandreia as the Romani and I had three units of Principes moving along a small stone wall when I noticed that the Principes began tacking casualties. I checked if there were any enemy towers or missile units, but there were none. I ignored the casualties and went on to perform another maneuver when suddenly the Principes began suffering more losses. It turned out that the Principes were actually falling from the walls for no apparent reason, other than the walls were a bit crowded.
