Title: Behold! I have resurrected 33 of Hobb's troops!

Edit: Thanks Son of Odin!

Just lost a fief that we decided to 'transfer' by not defending.

How does one kill a negative number of men? Did I bring them back to life? I think these automatic messages may need to be fixed...

0 of 300 survived the battle.
Your soldiers killed -33 of their 67 men.

In a tabletop game called "Shogun", battles involves throwing colored cubes in a tower where they can get stuck, pushed by others etc. Those that fall down determine who wins and with how many soldiers left. It is funny because you can start a battle with one guy and finish it with two.

Today, when i attacked a village, i had 130 troops. The time past waiting for the battle made me more troops, ate the end of the battle in the statistic there was Trops attacjed 130 troops survived 145. Imho this is what happened to your enemy?

That's very possible. I would even say it is likely, given that the total of his attacking troops and 'resurrected' troops is 100 (which is also the zero-upkeep troop limit).  Your opponent probably received a message similar to mine stating that he had killed -15 of your troops.

I just thought it was a funny display error that needed recognition and correction.

I'm sure he appreciated the resurrection of 1/3 of his troops. I, on his behalf, offer his thanks.
