Hi,

A few battle questions. I fought a bunch of battles in Winchester and won them all. Doing more than 10 to 1 causualties. However, at years end, the North is still besieging. Why is that?

Also, how is it that sometimes you can win with no ammunition? Would seem to me that the team with the bullets would have a pretty good advantage.

Lastly, why are there some huge lopsided numbers to the battles, like losing 3 to 3000 or so? Is this just a continuation of a battle reflecting routing the enemy?

What difficulty setting do you use ?

I just used easy as this was my first full campaign and I just wanted this first one to be a learning game. Just wondered why, if I won them all I didn't repel the north.

Ok then, playing on easy will give you the benefit in battles, so thats why you are inflicting 10-1 casualties overall. Generally the North is more powerfull resource wise, so they can churn out more units both land and sea.

I dunno about winning battles without ammunition, but there is melee in battles, which is basically hand to hand combat, maybe this is what happend.

Finally you shouldnt always rely on the number of units V units numbers to think one side is stronger than the other. Its what those units ARE that matters. After all you could be outnumbered unit wise in a battle, but still win, because you had more infantry, and they're units were mainly support ones for example.

Cohesion and strength are also quite relevant.

In the battle display, there are a couple of scales, one of which will show you the relative power of the two sides.
