────────────────────────────────── BATTLES ───────────────────────────────────
Players may view the results of any battles that they are involved in.
If you select the previous turn you may only view battles which your armies
or navies were involved in. You may view all player's battles two or more
turns old. Battles that you are the attacker are shown first, and those
that you are not the attacker are shown second.
On the map a flashing red cross indicates where the battle took place. All
units shown are where they currently are, not where they where during the
battle.
The amounts on the left are the number of troops starting the battle. The
numbers on the right are the numbers lost in the battle. Engines, elephants,
and all types of ships lost by one side may be captured to replace losses by
the other. These are shown as negative amounts.
Leaders lost in battle do no affect movement until the following turn.
The following diagram illustrates the way open field battles are set up.
The forces are divided into three groups. Each wing will have about 1/3 of
the infantry and archer units. Most of the engines will be grouped in the
center. Two-fifths of the cavalry will be on each wing, with 1/5 in the
center. The chariots and elephants will be dispered among the 3 areas.
Cataphracts will usually be at the center. When the force is small it will
all be in the center.

When a wing is defeated the victorious flank will fall upon the center in
order to break it. Once the center falls the battle is over. If neither side
is able to win the battle goes to the defender.
