Not the size of the opposing forces is important, only the odds and the outcome of a battle. I have had a heroic victory in a battle when i had only 1 unit of general bodyguard and the enemy one unit of dismounted feudal knights. The pre-battle screen favoured them a bit, but my initial charge killed their captain and half of the unit and they routed. I lost 1 man, they were annihilated. So i got a heroic victory.Originally Posted by Durallan
On other occasions, I had brutal, fight-to-the-last-man battles with slightly less than 1000 men on my side and about 1500 on the other side. i was victorious, but due to the many casualties on my side no heroic victory.
