Sometimes what you watch is just wrong. rarely, i have watched my forces win a clear victory on the replay, but have actually suffered a terrible defeat. And that is a bug that is rare, but unsolved from Dom II days. To be precise, I observed it in alpaca and epic heroes I, and it was much worse. Those games were both on Llamaserver. But the host has nothing to do with it.

Those battles were both much much worse than losing retreating mages. In both of those cases, whole victorious armies were missing and the province was lost. As well as many mages dead etc. And yet both players replay showed the opposite thing happening on their replay.

Here my replay shows some mages escaping as well. My mages are casting soul slay and it is possible, since your mages are large size, maybe 1 got targeted. But to be honest I am not sure.

I only recovered 2 items, which is certainly not what would be expected had you lost 9 mages, given the number of commanders i had there with full slots open.

But I am not sure that is what occurred here, hoewever. There was not a whole fictional battle that was on the replay, but only some mages that were retreating that looked to have escaped, but the message shows as died in battle.

Not that I am making light of losing mages and items, which is a terrible blow. I am just saying I am not sure your issue is related to the battle replay bug.
