Not really, no; in a great many circumstances, False Horror spamming is a good thing (for the spammer....) and it's a cheap spell to cast (once researched) so the Artificial Intelligence that runs the battles likes them. Lots of them.

Well, I suppose if you didn't research it, they wouldn't do so.....

Pretty annoying, but having a more diverse force (eg. some ranged attack or different casters) should sort that particular problem out.

Ugh, thats rough Ice Sickle. As for the choices that the combat ai makes - the discussion about that topic is a long and rich one. Look around on the forums. For the present tho there is sadly no way to control the combat AI once it goes beyond the script. In your particular situation, putting your casters further forward might prompt them to cast lightning bolts instead of horrors? A long shot but hey.

Also about your forces routing: thats not inexplicable. As was just confirmed in a different thread the attacker always routs after 50 turns, the defender after 75 and apparently everyone dies if the battle gets to turn 100. Its to stop battles from running infinitely. Anyway, moral of the story: Always have a line of retreat. Not always possible I know but a good motto to live by.
