Here on Stainless Steel, i decided to make a tough battle between the best units from the Kingdom of Jerusalem vs the best units from the Fatimids. All units from both sides are max skilled in Experience & Fighting but since i wanted it to resemble a battle of the Crusades, i didn't want my knights in plate armor, so i made all my KoJ units on level 1 in Armor & level 2 Armor for the Fatimids. The Muslims outnumbered mine by some 600 men & were slightly more armored but i had the Holy Cross Standard & the Canons of the Holy Sepulcher in which both helped to balance the fight. My Hospitallers on the left wing of my frontline were being battered down & my whole left flank was weakening untill i sent 2 units to support them, but to the contrary, my right wing & center hacked their way through & although my Cavalry Knights took many casualties they still managed to slaughter their heavy cavalry & got them to their infantry attack from behind. This is the reason why i like to battle with both armies max skilled or nearly max skilled, cos the majority of the men from both sides will stay & fight till they win or die rather than retreat, in fact only a very few retreated when most of their army was wiped out.
