Oh that's good! At least with the Berserk units, we can just assume that they finally exhaust themselves completely and die of heart attack.
But really, otherwise all the issue requires is use of imagination. I know, I know, my roommate hates that too, if he imagines something should work (that's usually the direction his imagination goes..... imagine that
), then if it doesn't work, he gets -pissed-, and refuses to listen to any of my "oh damn that sucks man, what are you going to do differently next time?" sort of encouragement. In his mind since a computer only does what you tell it to do (technically), that the software/game not doing what HE wants it to do tends to have some sort of horrible reflection on the programmers, as the obviously totally infallible and omniscient beings that they must be, if they can manage to successfully write such a complex program.
WHEW! Though I think a big part of why he gets so mad, is that while I devour the game, and incorporate all of the little quirks into my gameplay - he tries to dominate the game, and rails against those quirks like tartarian chains, holding him down.
And thus he is enraged by construing my comments as saying "it's mostly a personal problem". Which, maybe it is..... maybe it is.
Though I'd personally agree completely on two points. The first being that the 50 turn limit may in fact be a tad restrictive. Not just taking into account SCs, but if you look at armies of 1000+ on each side. At this point even "normal" elite soldiers who have berserking (or were made berserk with spells) will be left behind to die. And also the processing factor - for the most part battles do not make it to 50 turns, so it doesn't even matter how large your map is, or how many battles are fought, few of them ever cross that limit as it is. Besides, the vast majority of battles drastically speed up processing after turn 10-20, it's very rare that I see one not just zoom to the end at that point.
However I'll agree on a third, contrasting point - since people cannot agree on the validity or necessity of a change, it's incredibly unlikely that there will be a hardcoded change to the turn limit - almost as unlikely that we'd actually get a custom setting added for it at this point.
