Default I\'m very confused as to how and why I lost a

battle. Anyone willing to run the turn and tell me if this is a bug?

Basically my CW army of 310 carrion and 18 commanders routed fighting 1 earth mother and a wraith lord. I lost the entire army.

Which file would I post?

what was buggy about it? other than the earth mother and wraithlord should have collapsed from the CW fatigue attacks no question..

but you say the army routed. did all the commanders die? did all the non-commander units die?

and you lost the entire army - was there nowhere to retreat to?

were any strange battlefield spells cast?

18 commanders - did any of them have death magic? If it was a bunch of researchers w/o any death magic (for instance, 18 dryads) then the carrion would dissolve / rout for lack of leadership. At that point, the commanders should rout after 1 died (but not always).

If you had death magic leaders, then the carrion should never rout, which is why I suspect you had researchers or some such with no death magic.

Not one commander died. It looks like the vast majority of my army got stuck at the castle gates even though there was plenty of room to get through.

Also, I had several elephants and misc carrion attacking the earth mother and she never took damage even though she always had fatige of 200.

I owned most of the territory around the battle so they should not have died by routing.

All 18 commanders where either carrion lords or Pan.
