Greetings Civ3 fans. After diligently checking the forums I haven't found any discussion of this particular issue, so maybe it's just me.
In any event, the problem is this: Whenever I've used armies (legionaries, knights, etc.) in vanilla and PTW they invariably lose after fighting just one or two battles. They'll attack, get down to yellow-line, then attack again, almost always losing. If they win (rarely), they're at red-line and succumb to AI counterattack during IBT (happened the other day on PTW with an elite legionary army against a Zulu knight).
Funny, it doesn't happen with Conquests. Armies work just fine on v1.20/22 C3C. In fact, a longbowman army won several times over wounded infantry recently in a losing Demigod effort.
But over the years, every time I've used armies in C3 vanilla or PTW they get crushed, so I've practically given up on them. Anybody else have this experience? Thanks for your kind attention.
