Cummulative fatigue is a posibility, but might lead to a situation where both armies fall asleep and both armies "die". who win then? attacker? defender? Draw and the province become indie?

All of this is details and possibilities. There are a dozen solutions to this, and that's not my game. I can however, tell you a system that makes sense, of course :
The province enters a contested state where no one controls it, nor change the tax, nor recruit in it, assassination targets anyone not of your nation (I assume the assassin is able to see the difference between his own race and the other ones), the contested province could stay that way for years. Both armies would be in the province too, and the contested state would prevent you from giving them orders.
That is ONE solution among many that make it work. It could require too much changes to game mechanics. I propose it anyway, who knows, maybe it'll be there for dominions 4.

Either the attacker won, and has the province, or lost, and defender hold it. Otherwise you are just provoking much more complicated issues and endangering even more bugs into the battle.

The very point of the proposal I made is to change the fact that there is a winner in that fight. As far as provoking more "complicated issues and endangering even more bugs into the battle" that is what every single change to the fight system does, so obviously, this one would also cause some.
For the fatigue system : just make it so the damage is taken unit per unit in order of initiative, or taken attacker first, then defender, solves the problem.
With all due respect, I really don't get why you put a point of stopping any thoughts of an answer that work to point the "impossibilies" that are easily bypassed, and have multiple solutions.
Can't you just try to say "that won't work unless you do this and this ? maybe this would solve the problem too ?" instead of purposely blocking the discussion with "that doesn't work". That's how discussions advance. Ho, and don't take it personally. Other people on forums do this. I never understand why.
EDIT : somethings that didn't make sense.
