Is it about single player games? I'd think that in large MP the big battles would have numbers well in thousands. At least in Dom2 they were. I don't think that numbers in Dom3 will be much different. Essentially the limit was how much troops that can survive FfS,RoS etc you could bring. It wasn't worthwhile to bring more of other troops as only 10-20% of them would ever reach the real battle.

For such huge battles screenshots and/or the turn files would be very nice.

The turn files ARE attached to my first post... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif I think it took an hour or so before I realized I had forgotten something, though. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I've had a few battles last 75 rounds or more, not sure how many participants, but their must have been a lot and they must have been pretty evenly matched since there wasn't a DM. The AI regularly dumps anywhere from 800-1450 troops on my Niefel giants though. I counter with waves of 60+ skinshifters, which usually manage to eat up their territory, and hold that territory with defense 40-90 until they can't feed/clothe/pay their soldiers.

The attacking army will always start routing after turn 50. Manual, page 80. It doesn't mention the defenders routing, though, even though I'm pretty sure they rout 25 or so turns before the last remaining creatures (like 100+ paralyzed Sphinxes with active Soul Vortex or something) are killed off.

So it must have been huge to have gone to turn 75, if they all started routing at turn 50. Interesting. Battles definitely take longer in DMs though, I've had one last to round 128.
