[Sarvoth]

I could have avoided it by taking another province, sure. But my intention was to hold my capital for a short time while building up my forces. It makes absolutely no sense what-so-ever for it to be impossible (almost) to hold a single province fortress with a powerful force... There is no logical reason for all my commanders and my pretender to have died like that. Units in a fortress shouldn't be capable of routing, unless they're stealthy. It's under siege and your enemies control the province, under normal circumstances nobody would be able to escape. And under MY circumstances.. none of my units should have suicided by routing.
