Yes the game does not model surrendered troops quite the same way as reality but it's really not that important to 99% of players IMHO. The POINT is they can't hurt your troops any longer. By the time the game gets to the point where an enemy justly defeated would consider large-scale surrender the game will end automatically and you'll get the end game stats screen.

Btw DRG, is there ANY chance that we have a button in the preferences screen to tweak "global" morale (as in the threshold for mass surrender)? It will be very helpful if we did.
Another thing that will be nice if you ask me is a sort of resign button if you think you lost the battle which will immediately throw you to the stats screen. Will be more useful in a PBEM but you get the idea.
