I was playing Total War just now, and there was one tough battle. I was capturing Athens, and in the end, I ended up fighting two generals against enemy archers and a unit of spearmen. I easily defeated the first group, but I had trouble with the second. In the end, one of my generals had only 3 soldiers left (including himself), and the other had 5.
P.S. Yes, I'm playing as Byzantium. I also want to play as the Holy Roman Empire (Germany) and Hungary.
