Gaining Army Tradition in battles - working as intended?

[Granatenwerfer]

In v1.24.1 I'm still wondering about the fact that my defeated foe obtains more Army Tradition than me. Please look at the screenshot. My army managed it to totally destroy a Bosnian army. At the end of the battle I got 1.8 and my foe 20.7 Army Tradition points. I read the paradoxwiki-page. From there I've learnt the following:

Stack wipe bonus. The complete destruction of enemy stacks grants more tradition than simply inflicting the same number of casualties.

So I ask me is this WAD?

It's WAD, however irritating...

IIRC the idea is that you learn more from defeats than from victories.

It's been this way since launch hasn't it?

You learn more from your mistakes etc.

worst is you can get a lot of tradition under some weird circumstances (and not losing afaik), talking about 40 to 100.

Yeah, basically your enemy has learned that whatever it is they’re doing, not to do it again.

Allright, folks, you find it is more fair that the loosing site should obtain more Army Tradition than the winner.
Even though my question was not about what is more fair but is this WAD? The paradoxwiki-page must be wrong then, a logical conslusion at least.

And how does that theory work when there is no one left to learn?

it is WAD where did you read opposite on wiki?

stack wipe in game doesnt mean %100 death of everyone allways.
even when did your army responsibles notice their mistake of placing their armies and trapped from order they received and decide to place their armies better

It is WAD. Not only does it make sense, it also functions as something of a catchup mechanic. Nations that get kicked around a little but tough it out get better generals and the other benefits high army tradition bring.

15-30 vs 0.1, a little

Always thought the wording was bizarre, learning from battles or not.

I think the issue is that you're misinterpreting the wiki page. The stackwipe bonus doesn't mean that you'll earn more than the enemy, it means that you'll earn more than you would for otherwise killing a similar number of troops.

@macd21
Right.

Nevertheless I have to go back to this topic again. Please look at my screenshot. It is absolutely double dutch to me why I (=Hungary) did not get any army tradition. Why is Army tradition zero? Please bear in mind my 1st screenshot here in post #1.
