I use time limit.

once in MI I turned it off and the a.i. attacked me and had horse archers. that battle lasted for more then 2 hours and the a.i. and i didnt have more then about 10-14 units each.

In MTW i won as a defender cuz the time ran out. I should defend a bridge. I setup my men, hit start button, the a.i. runs up to the bridge and just sat there and they wasnt in my arbs range. If i wouldnt have the time limit on i would still have bn fighting that battle i think. was maybe a month ago. I would never have walked over that bridge cuz i was the defender.

There I see my father.
There I see my mother, my sisters and brothers.
There I see my line of ancestors back to the beginning.
They call on me and ask me to take my place with them in the halls of Valhalla where the brave may live forever.
