Keep a few cav with your siege force

That's you told, Delra!

It's not impossible to retreat, but it is quite hard sometimes. But why should the Ai let you retreat? That would be silly of it.

 

[Darkrenown]

No, that's not true. For one thing 30k would overrun 1k through the 10-1 rule, so that's just hyperbole. And a low morale army joining you wouldn't put your guys at lower morale. Sure, it'd lower the overall battle morale, but that doesn't affect you. I'm also highly doubtful an army of 4k could beat your 18k in 2 rolls, for one thing rolling 2 9s in a row would be one shock and one fire roll, and the fire role probably did no damage. Even assuming you meant they rolled 9s in 2 shock phases in a row there's no way they could break your entire army, the guys on the wings wouldn't be getting hit and so wouldn't be losing morale.

Edit: well that was for sun, seems i took too long writing

The only thing I dislike about the combat system is that you either inflict very low casualties to the enemy, or entirely destroy their army. I've seen no battle so far with high casualties but the army successfully retreats.

Just MP, I think. BoH was the HRE Emp so they had oodles of it, while I had a max of about 20k.
