> If I remember correctly, it behaves strangely with big armies. I think armies are limited to a certain size in battles, and after an army gets over that size the program will randomly choose which troops get to participate in a battle.

It might behave strangely, but not random. THere are three positions on the battle field. -1, 0 and 1.
-1 = support etc
0 = archers and commanders
1 = melee
THere are room for 16 units in a row IIRC. All melee units fill up rows until all are used. If you have too many melee units the 0, and the -1 are moved outside the screen and cannot be targeted until you kill off a few.

Units recruirted latest have higher nbrs, meaning they are placed behind the older units in the same position. If a unit is killed his nbr is available for newly recruited units.
