Painful Experiences from Battle Turn Limits

[Executor]

I too had a very unpleasant battle due to turn limit in my capital,
Niefelheim was attacking me with 4/5 of his whole army and 20-25 regeneration berserk Niefel giants ( there for never rout )
The strategy was darkness, skellspam , and a bunch of protection spells backed up with bane fire and some other evocation spells ( I was Helheim ). At turn 50 the regular army retreats with only the berserk Niefels left, and had the battle lasted another 10 turn more I would have killed them, but unfortunately my army started to retreat and with nowhere to retreat to I lost EVERYONE, and that was pretty much the end for me.

What exactly did that have to do with the turn limit? If anything, it helped you.

All the provinces around my fort were captured, and I didn't have anywhere to retreat to after battle turn 75 when my troops started routing, and so I lost all my mages and my capital, and how do you mean it helped me?

[Sombre]

Because their army arbitrarily routed at turn 50?

[Executor]

Not all of them, he still had about 20 Neifel giants that were berserk and didn't rout, and I couldn't kill them that easily, they had a very strong bless, but I would have won in the end if my troops hadn't routed.

I had similar thing with my capitol, but it was shorted and I won the battle, but lost the game. I have lost elephants which had a huge part of my total HP so my mages routed when enemy was almost dead. About 30! mages routed into nowhere when enemy was strorming my castle. I easily killed 600 enemy troops and I could defend my capitol for 10-30 turns, but nah, they decided to run away because few elephants got killed.
