	That would actually be far worse punishment: you have to rescript your entire army, redistribute your troops among your commanders again, etc etc. So much hassle for what was, essentially, a defeat.Quote:

No need to auto-route the attacker at turn 50 either.  The defender still has a chance to wipe out the entire attacking army, by cutting off all avenues of retreat.

 You had a good point about long battles, though.

 It's a far worse punishment when units/commanders die because of a battle time limitation.  It's only natural to want spending the time reorganizing the units/commanders instead of completely losing the units/commanders.
