In Age of Empires 2, what is the trigger for drawing a battle event in the Achievements timeline? It seems to be very far from actual happenings, but I just can't get what is a "battle" for the AOE2 engine. For example, often an Extintion Event is NaB Not a Battle.

According to this source a Battle Event is a one of the following:

  • Skirmish between at least 2 players
  • A huge battle between at least 2 armies

It happens often after long passive (peace) phases and it can happen only 3 times. The attacking party / aggressor gets the Battle Event, this is why Yellow does not have a Battle Event.

In your example the 3 Battle Events for orange and green are over. Furthermore a Battle Even occurs when the armies first clash, so if you overrun your enemy in say 5 minutes then only the first "encounter" is considered a Battle Event.
