Battle results that make you go huh?

[Edratman]

I was playing the no independents mod. I had a seductress and had her seduce a lion tribe province planning to pickup a indy mage. Instead she ended up successfully seducing an ordinary lion tribe warrior(?). With the no independents mod the unit has a gold cost of 8000 or something like that and the upkeep destroyed my income. So next turn I sent him solo into an indy province to kill him off. Going through the new turn messages I get a battle report that he captured the province????? On the replay the indies routed without anyone striking a blow.

Of course I still had no income because of his upkeep and sent him to battle again. Got the anticipated result the second time.

I was a little too astonished to perform an analysis on the initial battle
