If both sides are fully routed ... they should both automatically rout ...

In any event, considerations of "realism" (whatever that means in a fantasy game) take a back seat to more pragmatic concerns, like ensuring that the hosting terminates.

The auto-die code is in there to ensure that no combat can get "stuck" for reasons involving Paralyze or other reasons not foreseen, and I for one don't particularly care whether or not it can be rationalized in game terms.

lol I like that

BTW realism has little to do with reality it's just a term describing a logical cause and effect system not a the same as reality system

oh, and it could easily end in a TIE with all attackers not dead at the end of combat routing... I would think that would be a preferred method. auto-kill is never a good thing to do just because you wanted to set an arbitrary limit to the number of combat rounds.
