Just had an ECW Skirmish with about 7000 troops on each side.

The Royalists had 45% routed units and almost twice as many killed as the Parliamentarians.

The Parliamentarians has 35% routed units.

End screen said my Parliamentarians was defeated.

Why was this not a Draw?

I am guessing because the time limit was reached as those rout levels would not be sufficient to end the game.

In SP mode you have to defeat the enemy by the time limit in an open battle, or you are deemed to have lost.

Otherwise it is too easy to hang back until the AI attacks at a disadvantage - which it will do after a certain number of turns if you have not attacked it. That may give you a positional advantage, but insufficient time left to achieve victory.

This is working as intended.
