Vengeance of the dead, what the hell

How about...removing the turn limit entirely for VotD attacks?

Highly agreed with Kuritza's last point.
I'd always considered it much more useful against battle mages who've racked up a decent number of kills, than against SCs. I just assumed most SCs would survive it. Hadn't considered the turn limit.

[Kuritza]

Thats the ideal solution to me (there might not be a stalemate in VotD, but default), but all exceptions require the devs to change game code usually, which they hate.
I am not speaking about the Dominions devs now, of course, but I guess there are serious reasons for such trend.

Removing the turn limit can cause serious problems. Some immobile units might be targetable with VOTD, but unable to kill or be killed by the spirits. (Eg only deals cold damage). Upon hosting, computer go boom!

[thejeff]

Yeah, removing the limit would be a bad idea. (And in general require weird exceptions in the code, which is usually a bad idea.)

Better to change it so that the undead will auto rout when they hit their turn limit.
