Nah. Strategy. It just means that you can't depend on infantry. The farmers just aren't good enough for battle.

Let's not start that here, there is already a giant thread on the subject now

I've noticed that in the early game the winner in a conflict is very random. Playing as Sweden I've had 990 Cavalry hold off repeated attacks from Novgorod (repulsing up to 15000 troops without taking more than 2-3 casualties). This is very silly in my opinion since it doesnt make much sense.

I believe that a "last army bounus" makes up for this, if only partially. After all, when your the only army left to defend your homeland, you would fight harder for it after all realistically. Right?

WHAT!

I don't believe you!

I have always been more succefull with my last army!!!

i think there is a last army bonus to, cos i have noticed this case, 20k vs 1k last army. the 20k will win, but take heavy morale losse and maybe big tropp loses. it is realistic to, look at the spartians when they were in that little mountain range vs the persians. the last defence before the persians marched on athens, and 2k held them back for ages

Another ottoman army arriving in the middle of the battle?

Looking at the CRTs, there is no roll of the dice which would cause 3k infantry to kill off 16k troops in one battle. Even if they rolled all 10's to your 1's, your troops would retreat before taking 3k casualties.

battle faq

Even assuming the 3k infantry got some weird +6 bonus, they would still knock out your moral before inflicting substatial losses.

Low level infantry can at most kill 100% of their number before causing the retreat of a 3 moral point (pretty high for early game) defender. (assuming 1 roll of 12 which delivers 40% damage and 2 points moral reduction, followed by 1 roll of 16 which delivers 60% damage and 4 points moral reduction)

Low level cavalry can do 4-5 times better.

I would like to see a save file, if you can post a link to it. Because if this is true then I am seriously misunderstanding the game's battle system.

it would be nice though if someone in the EEP made some extra leaders for Byzantium (post 1453).
