It's all pretty much in the same category. medieval battles, especially the big ones, are chaotic things. And there's no one sitting on the sidelines with a score card keeping track of kills.

And the truly important stuff is already reported to the entire island for huge battles, and to all involve realms for regular battles. Take, for instance, the recent huge battle in Walefishire on Dwilight, with my added annotations:

Battle in Walefishire   (1 day, 21 hours ago)
(rogue), Astrum, Corsanctum, Morek Empire vs. Caerwyn
Estimated strengths: 1400 men vs. 710 men

Armies, sponsors, marshals
The Halgawaras-Ingaevoangeln (Caerwyn), sponsored by Sir Hyperion Harte, High Magistrate of Caerwyn, Earl of Walefishire, were led into battle by Marshal Infaustus Godhelm Brythonic.
The Legion of the Golden Griffin (Caerwyn), sponsored by Feawen Aldaríon (Lord), were led into battle by Vice-Marshal Graviel Lupercal.
The Defenders of the Blood Stars (Astrum), sponsored by Sir Brance Indirik, Vasilif of Astrum, Duke of Libidizedd, were led into battle by Marshal Allison Kabrinski.
The Corsanctum's Sword (Corsanctum), sponsored by Sir Branthorpe Silverbear, High Inquisitor of Corsanctum, Marquis of Freke's Deep, were led into battle by Marshal Chlodio Cuvelier.
The Order of the Auspicious Star (Morek Empire), sponsored by Francois de Leon, Duke of Donghaiwei, were led into battle by Marshal Masaharu Hayabusa.

Unique items and wielders
Sergio Mozzoni, Strategos of Astrum is spotted wearing the Ornate Jacket of Protection.
Chlodio Cuvelier, Marshal of the Corsanctum's Sword is spotted wielding the Long-Lost Dagger.
Sir Branthorpe Silverbear, High Inquisitor of Corsanctum, Marquis of Freke's Deep is spotted wearing the Mysterious Chain Mail from the North.
Allison Kabrinski, Marshal of the Defenders of the Blood Stars is spotted wielding the Mysterious Club.
Thomas Greyson, General of Corsanctum is spotted wielding the Enchanted Shield of Reflection.

Captured nobles
Wulfric Lucifer (Knight of Grazne, Caerwyn) was captured by Allison Kabrinski's unit.
Jeremy Sedgwick, Viscount of Kybcyell was captured by Aram Stien's unit.
Chlodio Cuvelier, Marshal of the Corsanctum's Sword was captured by Daenah Dragoria's unit.
Attacker Victory!


You have:
  • All the armies involved, listing the important noble things: Sponsors and marshals of each.
  • Unique items, and who wields them. A short list, capped at five I think. All are listed in the full report.
  • All the nobles who were captured, and who captured them.
  • All the major woundings.(This battle just happens to not have any major wounds suffered.)
  • All the noble deaths, and who killed them.(Again, no deaths in this battle.)

This seems to me to have most of what you want, minus the exact kill counts. Which won't be added.
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.
