Just had an interesting battle. Two army groups - the 1EL and the 1WE went at it. The end result was that the 1WE was destroyed,/though both kingdoms attacked on a 2. Seems a bit deadly given that - the EL had 6/6/2 brigades (EL/VE/RE vs 7/4/0 for the WE and he had better leaders (two Warlords and a Captain vs three Generals) and wizards were not a factor. And it was on the plains, so no forest boost. Not upset or anything, but that does seem like a major change in what I'm used to. The EL bled quite a bit, too - he lost 17,866 troops to my 19,656 so in that aspect it was fairly even - I just wouldn't have expected casualties on both sides to be so high.
Also, I note that my group had 23,400 troops in it so nearly 4,000 should have survived if the casualty report is accurate.
