Radovid was a tactical genius numbers isn't everything like its mentioned in the ending "commanding forces far outnumbered by hes foe's he handly defeated the invader from the south".Firstly hes plan of uniting north attacking hes ally worked this strongered hes position but still north was outnumbered but economcly radenia was in better condition despite radenia was bankrupt they was getting support from rich kovir while emhyr losed hes economic support.Also novigrad was very important  mentioned in the game, its mostly controlled by radenia&ethernal fire curch

After the winter nilfgaard advance stopped there was indecisive big war at the velen where both sides gives huge casulities its indecisive but its acutally radenia victory because they was able to hold their land and stopped nilfgaard advance and time was emhyr's enemy.İ think its the turning point of war

"Radovid has retreated across the Pontar.He's safe for now.. until reinforcements arrive from the south.Then Emhyr will deal with thim once and for all"

Mentioned reinforcements never arrived because since nilfgaard advance stopped and they keep losing fights.Emhyr losed hes support remaning option for emhyr was all-in fight with what he had.

Guerilla activities, morale diadvantage , terrain disatvantage also radavoid tactical genius their support from south cut etc etc. İts understandable nilfgaard losed.
