Lemon10 (and Vanigo) have a better grasp of how this works, but basically things with range can start attacking in battles sooner.

[Kashyyk]

The battlefield is essentially a line of squares, and armies start at opposite ends. Each turn a unit moves forwards, and once in attack range attacks a random unit in range. Having a higher range means they can start attacking more quickly.

EDIT:
Battles are pretty simple. There is a 20X1 field, and units walk towards the enemy from their sides at their speed each turn until they get in attack range. They can't attack the very first turn they get in range (except for units with the charge ability, who get a bonus to attack on the charge), so the units that walked into range attack next turn.
Each units randomly selects an enemy unit and attacks, dealing 1Dattack-1Ddefense damage  (random number between 1 and attack minus a random number between 1 and defense).
This works out so that two units fighting one will get in between 3-4 times more attacks, so assuming the units are near equal, even a few more units will cause a significant difference.
Despite this, stronger units are often much stronger then the weaker ones (eg. a swordsman can easily take on 3 spearmen).
Focusing is very random, a army won't pick the same units to fight (although they can all pick the same ones if you get lucky), and won't stick with fighting the same unit till it dies either, so how much they focus can very well decide larger battles.
Units get 1XP per turn they are in battle.
I believe units also retreat (to the back of the battle) occasionally at lower health as well.

Found out some things for mostly certain, doing some testing and whatnot.

- Cities have no innate defensive bonus; that must be obtained through defensive structures and terrain.
- Defensive bonuses of terrain are as follows: Mountains - 75%, Hills - 50%, Swamps - 50%, Forests - 25%, Plains - 0%, Desert - 0%, Water - 0%
- Siege directly counteracts defensive bonuses from buildings, but not terrain. These always stack.
- There is no limit to the Defensive bonus a unit can have, besides that imposed by the available buildings; a Fortress on a Mountain can get up to 200% defensive bonus. This does not make as large of a difference as one might think at low tiers, however, as compared to numbers.

More info will be forthcoming, I think, at a later time. Still testing stuff out; I want to gauge the relative power levels of each unit in terms of actual effectiveness against other units or in concert, etc; is it better to bring another unit of swordsmen or a battering ram, stuff like that.

In the meantime.

The Isle of Man comes under Northumbrian control as Coenwulf flees the town he'd only just seized, as Causantin and his clansmen sweep down from the hills. Far in the south, the Mercians raise their banner against the Wessex raiders, while in the West the first of the Anglo-Saxons makes landfall on the tip of Ireland.

Spoiler: Win Conditions (click to show/hide)

For the wincons below: a nation is considered defeated if it has no cities and no units and no reasonable chance of completing its wincon. Ireland is considered 'taken over' by a non-Irish power if they're the only one with size 5 cities and greater on it (and have a size 6 city on it themselves) and Ireland doesn't control more then 50% of the Island.

Irish Kingdom: Take over 80% of Ireland 
Mercia: Defeat the Anglo-Saxon nations (Northumbria, Wessex) OR Defeat the Britons (Picts/Welsh/Irish).
Wessex: Hold Winchester until the Danes come. You can lose and retake it, but if it's ever destroyed or if it's owned by a foreign nation in 665AD, you'll lose.
Wales: Survive until the Danes come. This means 'have at least one Welsh territory and one Welsh unit alive' in 665 AD.
Pictland: Defeat the Anglo-Saxon Nations OR take over Ireland
Northumberland: Defeat the Picts OR take over Ireland

The game can end prematurely if one faction wipes out all other factions, which is also considered a win. Win conditions are only checked in 665 AD and you only can win if you're not defeated.

The Northumbrian men founded Narsis on a craggy Isle in the Irish sea while the druids of Machylleth debate forgotten texts and the Irish High King gazed across his emerald isle and set to work the bellows and anvils of industry, and in the north of Brittania, Causantin and Coenwulf sling insults from the war camps that will not yet fight. But in the south it is Winchester that is under threat. Egbert calls his banners and the men of the villages from all around answer, hurrying swiftly down the roads that Egbert built. They stood their ground on the rolling downs and though many men died that day, Egbert led from the front and broke the strength of the Mercian band on the edge of his own sword.

Spoiler: Win Conditions (click to show/hide)

For the wincons below: a nation is considered defeated if it has no cities and no units and no reasonable chance of completing its wincon. Ireland is considered 'taken over' by a non-Irish power if they're the only one with size 5 cities and greater on it (and have a size 6 city on it themselves) and Ireland doesn't control more then 50% of the Island.

Irish Kingdom: Take over 80% of Ireland 
Mercia: Defeat the Anglo-Saxon nations (Northumbria, Wessex) OR Defeat the Britons (Picts/Welsh/Irish).
Wessex: Hold Winchester until the Danes come. You can lose and retake it, but if it's ever destroyed or if it's owned by a foreign nation in 665AD, you'll lose.
Wales: Survive until the Danes come. This means 'have at least one Welsh territory and one Welsh unit alive' in 665 AD.
Pictland: Defeat the Anglo-Saxon Nations OR take over Ireland
Northumberland: Defeat the Picts OR take over Ireland

The game can end prematurely if one faction wipes out all other factions, which is also considered a win. Win conditions are only checked in 665 AD and you only can win if you're not defeated.

Mercia - Rolepg
Wessex - Varee
