I have 4 neatly divided stacks of units, each with 3 swordsmen, a pair of their own catapults, and an axeman and a crossbowman apiece. Each one was has two promotions. That's 28 units.
They are parked outside of Washington, which is defended by 4 units (longbowmen and axemen assorted). I start bombardment. Pretty soon Washington's city defenses is down to 0%.
And then I start the attacks. The first batallion, though superiorly upgraded, goes down immediately. There are no casualties to the defender.
The second one takes out two of the defenders with one swipe, but the remaining single one takes out all three.
The third one seems to be equal until that one eventually dies as well.
And all in all I lose almost half of my 28-unit attack force to 4 defenders in a city with 0% CD's.
Am I missing something here?
