Battle Casualties

[jastaV]

As a start point for a discussion over Battle Casualties, following excessive losses reported by some NCP users, I started collecting and posting some data.

Battle losses
For any battle I reported starting forces and losses relatively to:
Infantry |Cavalry | Guns, in that exact order.
Infantry and Cavalry are expressed as thousands men. Guns as single unit. Winner side is asterisk (*) marked. Losses % are calculated over infantry and Cavalry, while guns are omitted.
Siege Battles are assaults to besieged enemy occupied fortresses, providing defensive benefits to defender side.

Battles from Prelude to Leipzig, 1813 Spring, Modder Times scenario.
Player COA side.
Notice: historical year 1813 unit models were used in OOB!

Excessive battle losses is an issue that has been addressed in ACW. I do not know if it has for NCP.

I know it's a huge task but we need the same battles reproduced several times to have a sort of "reproducibility" about losses even if the same historical battle would have been fought again, it wouldn't give necessarily the same outcome.

NCP battle losses as % seems to be closed to historical data, according to examples I reported.

Anyway, we had users reporting excessive NCP battle losses too:

Notice: it's so curious! We have many users reporting oddities in NCP while pointing out in comparison AACW perfection! Your comment goes in the stright opposite way! I start thinking AGEod games look very differentely according to way peoples watch at them!
Not a critic to your comment, from me!!!!!!
Not a critic to peoples comments!!!!!!!
On the contrary I love these discussions and guess they are very positive for AGEod too, till the time they move in terms respectful of other's opinions and adding feedbacks usefull to improve games.
