While theoretically posible, this seeems highly unlikely and I believe players would not stand for this much "swing" in an individual battle, the game would be vertually unplayable. you are implying that the change meant that I went from killing 8 theug in the first blade wind to 2 total leaders in the entire battle? that would require me to have gone from normal roles killing half (as it statistically should be, given their lack of armor) to rolling like all 2's for every role for most of the battle.
while statistically possible, given the number of men/leaders, and number of roles, I should have killed a lot more. the Data had to be corrupted/altered.
again, statistically, given enough time and monkeys, you can get a monkey to type the complete works of william shakespear, but this is not likeley, nor would people play a game relying on one to do so.
if you imply that a "simple" change can alter a Major battle this much (it wasn't even close) then that would unbalance the game and make it unplayable for how could you plan offensives? with all these roles, by the law of averages, the battles should play out essentially the same with a few leaders/ men killed one way or the other, but a much stronger army will eventually win due to the numbers.

PS- speaking to some of the other players, they were/are also not aware that the game had been undated to 2.14, since the only reference said we may playing the new Version, but noone said officially (in game or forum) that we all should upgrade, so many like myself simply stayed with the old Version 2.12
