First i am taking it like a man -- i am not asking for a rerun just an
explaination on how he gets the win when i had him out gunned by almost 5 to
1 odds !! Even making his dragon 2 and half times more powerful than mine !!
Getting an explanation of hidden factors is a fail safe answer to me !! I
just don't understand how it says i was overrun -- i don't have a problem
with our armies doing mutual destruction -- just i should have had at least
one man standing at the end -- so to speak over him !! You people out there
are thinking i am asking for a rerun -- which i never did ask Clint for --
asked how this can be and was given the answer for a fee we will look into it
!!
Dragons, regardless of how many you have played with or how much YOU THINK
you know of them are still a mystery on their full impact on battles. And
like fighting battles against "fortified" armies you just can not fully
figure in the amount of damage they inflict on their opponents. I find that
the battle calculator is not a 100% method of figuring out the battles
outcome. It gets real close sometimes when you can get two opposing armies
in the open filed and you know the composition of each force, but when you
throw in dragons, fortifications and the like you tend to miss the mark.
Length of battles with dragons and/or fortifications can be a disaster for
armies as well.
The battle was lost, stake it like a man, start over and hit 'em again.
My two cents,
George

If that is your question then the answer is quite simple. Your orders were
put into the computer correctly and it came out that you lost. Move on.
More important things are happening in the (real) world.

A dragon is a Giant Sword. Dragons add no constitution to your army. His Dragon
didn't have to be 2.5x as strong as yours. It just had to be strong enough that
when added to the offensive value of his army produced a significat army strength
value to defeat your army. When you ran your Combat Calculator did you input
both dragons as a 45000 (I've seen this to 55,000 in old Mouth articles as a
guess at Dragon Strength) combat spell. It's possible dragons work as a combat
spell with a variable range?

Also, unless I'm mistaken, the battle took place at 1804 a strongly
fortified WK pop center. Did you take into consideration the fortifications?
Perhaps his army was able to fight for two rounds of combat instead of one.
