FOG2: Medieval records whether the battle was a Decisive
Victory, a Marginal Victory (player rout % less than enemy rout % at nightfall), a Marginal Defeat (player rout % more than enemy rout % at nightfall) or a Decisive Defeat. Additional pursuit losses are then added using the standard Kingdoms rules.

Ok, so is this final? Doesnt matter if you or opponent attacked only nightfall percentages count for determining victory, which can lead to an obvious exploits. Or this passage is the holdover from the Empires-FoG 2 pre "AI wins on nighfall if regular win conditions not reached" ruleset?

It is only nightfall if the normal FOG2 victory conditions do not come into play before that - which will be a rare occurrence.

It doesn't matter at the FOG2 Medieval end, I am not privy to the detailed post-battle calculations at the Kingdoms end.

If you find a way to exploit the system, you will only be cheating yourself, as MP Kingdoms cannot export battles to be fought in FOG2 Medieval.
