bitter pill to swallow

yeah a configurable battle turn limit as arryn suggested it would be great

then especially for sp everyone could configure it to their likings .

the people who don't like sc's can set it to e.g. 30 turns while others can set it infinite .

If you have two immobiles without offensive spells, one teleporting in, troops on both sides routing, you would end up with an infinite amount of turns. Battles where both sides have several summoners could also potentionally Last very long.

that could of course be a problem but at least in sp it doesn't happen almost 100% sure .

Setting it shorter than 40-50 turns is a very bad idea as many battles against strongly-held forts will Last 25+ turns, unless you bring awesome magical power to bear, or many flying troops. Otherwise, the bottleneck at the castle entrance will assure that the battle takes a while. IMO, a shorter auto-rout limit is not a viable solution for those that have SC-phobia.

i personally would set it always infinite ( or 1000 turns to avoid the rare problem of e.g. 2 monoliths fighting each other ^^ ) .

it was just as example that it could work both ways
