Otherwise battles would always be rather huge, particularly if there are a fairly decent number of large battles....

yeah a configurable battle turn limit as arryn suggested it would be great http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

then especially for sp everyone could configure it to their likings http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif .

the people who don't like sc's can set it to e.g. 30 turns while others can set it infinite .

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">that could of course be a problem but at least in sp it doesn't happen almost 100% sure .

it was just as example that it could work both ways
