Vanquished enemy. Lost battle. A bug?

[RobN]

Is there a known bug which causes a battle to be lost due to running out of time despite all of the enemy units routing off the map?

I could swear this happened to me yesterday. Playing on 'Normal' I beat the pants off my foes, routing all of their units, waiting for them to leave the map, only to find that the battle didn't end.

Where any of them hiding somewhere? I don't know. There were some trees around, but I ran out of time before I could search the woods.

Hi RobN,
they were probably hiding.
check the replay&logfile to make sure.

Or occasionally a unit will get "stuck" as it is routing off the field - not much you can do about it. (Thankfully it's rare.)

Did you get the "teh enemy are fleeing the field" message? If not there may have been a unit concealed somewhere like Mithrandir says. Otherwise they can go into stasis as they leave the battlefield, I don't think you can do anything about that because they are off the playable area.

I've only ever had it happen once or twice though.

One possible way (if you find the trapped unit) is to shoot them with archers. Once they're all dead you should win.

I don't recall getting the total flee message. Perhaps some bad guys were hiding somewhere...
