I had about 10 party members and was being chased by a group of about 40 Khergits. They were faster then my party and I could not escape the battle.
I didn't want to surrender, so i started the battle.
I didn't have a horse, but when I saw my men being slaughtered I ran for the side of the map while my men kept the enemy busy.
I made it to the end and in the next option menu I decided to "leave" the battle. Then I started to run away from them with my party on the map again.
I couldn't get far though before they caught me and I went into battle with them again.
This time I went straight for the end of the map to retreat (I didn't think of using tab at the time). I made it through.
But yet again I got caught and had to do a battle. I only had 1 party member left. I told him to hold position while I ran for the border again.
After a long run I found out that I was probably running the wrong way or the edge of the map was further from my starting position then normal. But I saw the end of the map come closer. But at the same time I could hear about 20 horses coming after me and as I looked back they sure were getting close. It didn't take long for me to be run over and then killed (knocked unconscious).
It was actually quite scary
Because I really tried to run away, but couldn't make it in time.
