I had some archers too, and some ambibates for dirty initial gate barging up front. The siege is a success, but when I watched the battle, I laughed hard.

The siege starts, monkeys and towers rain arrows, Ambibates hack through hordes of markatas and vanaras, both teams rout, Eponis charge and get torn by the shiny Hindus and their medusa goddess under spells, carnutes route the hindus but get eaten by the medusa, meanwhile an archer stops firing, goes forward, slips through the combatants(the shiny hindus, what do you call them, didn't somehow engage him), and STABS THE MEDUSA TO DEATH without dying. I saw he just lost an arm to a stray arrow. He was experience level 2 anyway.

Hail the one-armed slayer of Medusa! HAIL! The BOWLESS ARCHER!

Love it. I posted an enhancement request a while back regarding tracking and rewarding troops/commanders for just such "4 sigma" events. Call it the "David and Goliath" feature except you might get more than just a giant's head. The reward possibilities would be great fun. Finding the events would probably be the easiest part. A zoomed cut scene of that specific toe to toe battle sequence would be amazing to see and share. Likely this would be a Dom4 or Dom5 feature but heh... I can dream.
