Amen to what Corso said. I lost 7k archers and the expected 500 pike when two of us tried getting the same lake. The Sion guy got there first. If not for the lag, I could have recalled my troops instead of losing them and causing losses to the Sion guy's troops as well. My expected losses were 250 - 300 archers and the 500 pike. I attacked an open lake of the same size and equivalent army size yesterday and the losses were as stated, so I was expecting to have to rebuild 500 pike and about 300 archers, not 7k archers.
