Losing what you didn't lose after a victory

Yes because we want everyone to run around in full plate and just spam left click.

Great gameplay.

The current way it is fine, majority of peasants with a few well armoured guys.
And you know what? That actually smells historical as well, as if most of the guys in an army were well armoured?

Where do you get everyone in full plate???  Almost all of strat 2 (until equipment bug popped up) everyone was using lower-end mid-tier armors primarily like tunics over mail, lamellar, and padded leather and msotly rounceys with mayeb a few destriers and an occasional warhorse thrown in.  This strat - never see any of that stuff, basically 90% of the items possible are never used.

Oh thats ok then, my bad.

Altough I have seen quite some heavy shit already though. But not in large numbers.

The problem isn't balance.  The problem is nobody wants to spend money on decent equipment because even if they route the enemy they lose all the equipment (and just threw away all that money it took to equip them) even if they never lose one person.  I can craft coursers, but it's still almost 500 gold for one courser.  You think any army is going to equip horses when they're looking at thousands of gold lost even if none of their cavalry or horses die?
