It isn't just troop quantities -- it has to do with strength I am pretty
sure. I have seen battles where one army of HC and one army of HI, of equal
size, took about equal percentage losses, because the 1000 HC fought a larger
percentage of the enemy due to being stronger offensively. Now, if all the
troops were the same type of troop, with the same training, weapons and morale,
then yeah, split the other army by troop numbers and you'll probably be
right. And a lot of nations do tend to field a lot of HI armies with wooden
weapons, no armor, and whatever morale they hire or split them off at -- but those
who end up with different types of troops in their armies will see results
that vary a little more widely.

that is my understanding too. The one army gets divided proportionally
between the other three, depending on their size compare to each other
So to be easy 1000 Vs 1000, 2000 and 1000 would be 250, 500 and 250
allocated. I need to look at a few turns where my armies have done this and see what
happened numerically.
