Unconscious Great Mother - unbeatable!

Although I've seen some oddities myself in this vein. I had an army of illithids paralyze a dragon in the first round of combat, destroy all of his troops, run up to finish him off by hand - and then immediately flee in terror.

Dragons must be scary or something. I know illithid don't have especially good morale. Had to bring in some mindless units to finish the job. Really, killing gods is often about finding the strategy they're vulnerable to!

My personal opinion is that the defending party should not be fleeing just because the number of x turns have passed.

To have lost a territory you were defending just because x amount of turns have passed and a paralyzed attack unit could not flee seems like a flaw.

The paralyzed unit should live but be pushed back to another territory.

Or, in this case, rolled.

I think it's the other way, at least in Dom 1. After a certain number of turns, the attacker automatically rout and all remaining units (because of being immobile of unconscious) are assumed to be eliminated! It is a major handicap to the attacker.
