		Exaggerated accounts of the battle often describe the destruction of the entire Byzantine army, and with it the end of Byzantine power and influence.
		However, the modern consensus among Byzantine historians is that, while the Battle of Myriokephalon was a serious humiliation for the emperor, it was certainly not a catastrophe.
		Thus, despite its dramatic reputation, it is clear that the battle had done nothing to alter the dominant strategic position of the empire in Asia Minor.

	Total War Center Forums - Death Tolls of War
		I am in full agreement with your Civil War battles totals, they seem spot on, however the ACW is beleived to have resulted in 620,000 killed or died of disease, not 558,000.
		Also, for WWI battles I think you may have just gone with one day figures for battles that in reality lasted many months, most obvious among them were the Somme and Verdun.
		The Somme may be close to the truth, as I beleive around 700,000 casualties were suffered on all sides (not killed, just casualties)...so 300,000 dead may in fact be correct, but Verdun is far larger, with over 1 million casualties, so I'd wager more along the lines of 450,000 dead at Verdun.
