In last few weeks I have been having strange combat reports... Once I attacked 200 wild dogs with an army of 800 troops and have 60 or 70 troops dead the next day I would have 20 ... But I was telling myself that this is normal... mayby it's just because of terrain stats.... But today I had 1 incomprehensible combat reports...
How is this possible ?!?! How can I loose troops when I was unopposed,

Probably the changes they made lately. May be a little problem in a formula where they add +1 at the end... But it could also be one of the soldier was bored and left for a couple of blue eyes :-) -------------

| I'm guessing it's a strange artifact of the rounding thing, like JimJams said. Variances in the number of casualties is to be expected to some degree because there is some random in the battle calculations. |

| Umm, would covert armies have been reported? If not maybe that's what happened here? If they would be, then well, I don't know :D. |

| What you're going to want to do is scour the countryside, find the deserter, and have him painfully killed as a warning to any who might try the same thing. That should fix your problem. |

It is only natural that some troops die after long voyage. Historical data shows us that in medieval times more troops died marching then in combat. Seriously now. This has to be new combat mechanics. I've found out that you always loose at least one unit now no matter how small the defending force is. 1 dog pup will kill 1 unit every time.

| It probably always rounds up to at least one now. I guess one should include a cheap unit with low defenses on NPC hunts now, or maybe not hunt "few" or "handfuls" at all except when you're extremely new. |

| Well, I tried three battles with a comparable number of troops and didn't lose any, so either this was a fluke or it's fixed now. |

Funny, I got this message: "You have died of Dysentery."
...oops, wrong game. |

| I've had 5% loss to an unopposed location before - i had sent the troops only to read the "terrain bonus message" from there. since the army had only 1 unit, just the commander was 5% hurt. |
