Lost full army on castle assault, just because time was up

What's wrong with caste assaults?

I had full army, and attacked enemy. Battle was very long and had no time to kill all bastards. Enemy lost around 95% of his soldiers, and me around 40%. Then... I got info that my army was defeated and disappeared from the map!!

What the heck?
It should retreat, and in best case stay in "siege mode".

What matters is the fact that the enemy managed to hold their castle till the time was over. You could try playing battles without time limitations.

Why don't you turn off time limitation? It's quite stupid and bad for tactics. I don't think you could finish any battle in time unless you do a simple and very costly frontal assault.

I'm just going to echo everyone else so far. Turn off your battle timer. The only time I play with the timer is if I fight a battle that turns out to be really buggy, like when men get stuck on mountains or an enemy decides to assault a city and then just sits there for a half hour and doesn't do anything.

Ok. It is possible to turn off time limit during campaign?

Yes in the game options i think.

yes it is. It is in the main campaign menu where you choose faction.

He said during a campaign.

Go into the escape menu; click on "game options." There's a little checkbox that allows you to enable or disable battle timers at will from the campaign map. Do note, however, that you cannot do it in the middle of a battle.
