Please elaborate. You really did have shitty troops, and I'm assuming you were facing off against horde armies and troops?

Well for the vandal battles, their entire horde came down upon one of my provinces on the border with the eastern roman empire. The first time they attacked, I beat them at the walls, because my shitty troops were helped by catholic priests and my general's cries for victory and no retreat, so they never got routed and stayed fighting which beat them down slowly. The second time they attacked was right after, and the walls were taken lightning quick. So I pulled back to the center and used my general and remaining foderti cavalry unit and was trying to just do as much damage as possible... I wasn't expecting this, but I managed to kill his general. After that, his troops started getting more startled and startled, and eventually I managed to rout and chanse down alot of their remaining troops.

 

For the frankish battle I think I made a mistake. Instead of pulling back to the center, I choose to try to defend the walls. On one side it was working, but the other side collapsed. So I pulled the troops from the defened side back to the center and defended through the streets. The only really I one it was because I was sarmation cavalry constantly charging one side and then the other until the until was fully killed off. Then my general's unit as well. After their remaining units had poured in, I didn't have much of a chance. I was outnumbered 1:10 probably, and all I had left was bunch of beaten down and exhausted limenti (frontier militia) and my general unit which was at about half strengh or probably lower, like 9 or 6. Lucky Their general rushes in to finish off my weak militia and push them out of the center so they will rout. While he charges, I sneak my weakened general's unit in the back of him and charge. After my forces are even further mauled by that bitch general after a minute of fighting, he dies. The battle wasn't over though. My remaining troops slowly killed off the raming franks, along with my tuff as nails general who by now has almost no bodyguards.

It was surely my greatest moment in TW history.
