I wish it would continue the battle anyway and just blow up on trying to watch the combat. It seems like the battlefield size shouldnt affect getting the outcome.
This betrays a fundamental ignorance of the method that is used to obtain battlefield results in Dominions. The battlefield size affects the outcome since the turn generation performs an identical set of calculations to the battle viewer part of the program.
Hmm I guess the same limits of number of people to the battlefield would apply. I guess that my "fundamental ignorance" was a failure to think out the ramifications of what was so eloquently explained further up (was it eloquently explained further up?).

Thank you for so suavely and tactfully pointing that out to me so I could catch up to you.
