In truth it's nothing more than precedence I think. After the Dragon took out the numerical parity, the citadel bonus did the rest... are you considering adjusting the citadel bonus down somewhat for next R? It's unreal that "Oberon" wiped 1000 men in another battle, and now "he" kills a mere dozens, losing everyone in the process... And now I will charge, please stand by

Should be VERY interesting to see game 23 where I am attacking Chris, with his 7 or 8 lords inside 2000-men Kor, with my 20 full lords.

Charge? I can see you up north. Don't think that you're getting away that easily!
Can I run down a targ cavalry unit? I'm going to try, anyway!

Hmmm what do *you* think? Was that carnage expected?

Since Cardofal managed to get 2 rounds in before you brought him down, I was pretty sure that I would win the battle if you stayed put. However, as you say, losing so many giants was unrealistic.
The experts are poring over the battle agorithm, so hopefully someone can come up with some suggestions on how to make things work better.

You survived! I sent my king galloping off east without noticing that you'd attacked. How many troops do you have left?

None, my friend Er... what about the citadel bonus? Will I have to lose my game against Chris after I dominated the entire 30 turns?

Victoire! Had you got Cardofal, it would have been the other way around.
Bonus: depends on whether yo drag it out until the next release! If you liik at the script I sent you, I'm dropping the bonus from 0.2 to 0.15. Not yet sure exactly how much of an effect that will have. We'll see - that's what testing is for, after all.

PS. You can read the journal now. Started on day 6 and ended just before you attacked at Sunset.

Is the citadel bonus by any chance overriding troop type and quality? It sure looks so...
