Victory conditons?

[Ilmater]

Hello, I am relatively new to playing M2TW and had just finished a short campaign. I am wondering as to what are the criteria for achieving a crushing battle victory, as I seem to get mostly clear ones. Does it have something to do with battle odds, number of enemies killed, captured, etc?:hmmm:

Crushing is another word for

I don't think there is a "crushing" Victory, only Heroic, However; There is a Crushing Defeat...that's what you get pooned.

For Heroic, you need to be outnumbered or evenly matched (in some cases) and need to win by a pretty large amount.

Do be "Crushingly" defeated... yeah, It speaks for it self.

Sometimes Close Victories seem like Heroic ones for me. Once, when I was playing the HRE, three Milanese armies attacked my main one. It was a tough fight, the armies came from different directions. I didn't get Heroic, only a Close Victory, I lost a lot of men you see, but, well, I remember it fondly.
