Well, Twan's mod at least may be exploitable in a different way, in that it still lasts for 9 rounds even if the casting mage dies. A defender could do Mists of Deception and Wrathful Skies and Flame Storm all on round 1, and the attacker can't stop it even if he does Rain of Stones x50 on his own round 1--no matter what, the attacker is going to take 9 (or 12 or 15) rounds of painful BEs.

(I may be misunderstanding Twan's mod--I haven't run it--but it believe it creates clouds on the battlefield, each of which produces warriors each round. As I understand it, these clouds will keep producing warriors even if everybody else is dead, so the battle won't end. It's a fine mod and less exploitable than the original, but there are still limitations.)
