Here you can see the approaching Scottish army. I am defending Edinburgh as the English.
Three units of Peasant archers defend the walls. The ladders go up.
What you see here is not troops ascending the ladders. They are retreating down, after being beaten by levy spearmen.
The doors are destroyed by the battering ram.
The Scottish horde floods in, lead by the general and his bodygaurd.
You can see some nice variation in the soldiers here.
Some scottish units climb the gate tower and attack the walls while the battle rages below.
The archers do their best to shoot them down as they move along the wall.
The archers beat off the Scottish units, and fire down at the ground. My general, and the militia spearmen are wiped out, but fight to the last man.
Not many Scottish units made it to the courtyard. Both our generals died at the gateway.
In a desperate bid to win, I send my remaining unit of peasant archers to the courtyard and open fire.
The remaining trio from the general's bodyguard charge the archers. The archers kill one before being destroyed.
Didn't do to great here, though considering that it was an army of peasants and militia it wasn't too bad.
I've got two more battles ready to be posted if this thread takes off. Both are more interesting, and demonstrate weaknesses in the battle AI. In one I attack a castle, the main attack fails on the walls, but a flanking unit with ladders manages to run all the way round to the far side of the castle, capture the gatehouse and left in my half dozen units of mailed knights.
In the second I am attack from both sides by two seperate enemy armies. I defend on top of a hill and beat both off, mostly because the AI still hesistates when charging large numbers of missle troops.
