Battle Time Limit

**ceff7711** · May 11, 2010, 10:51 PM

I play the campaign with no time limit. I have come across that bug that even though I have routed the entire enemy army the battle will not end. Is it possible to set the option for a time limit before a specific battle and then remove the time limit after it ends?
Second Question- What happens when the time expires? If I've destroyed say 75% of the enemy and the time expires, is that considered a win on my part?

Ok. So I have a city that's under siege. I set the time limit to 20 mins. The enemy sat back and fired their cannons at my walls. They didn't kill any of my men. My wall cannons hit about 13 of their men. The time expired and it said 'Crushing Defeat'!?!? WTF? The enemy army was still holding me under siege.

Well as long as you haven't completed the objectives (and there is no notification you have won), anytime you quit, it's considered a loss, no matter how many men you kill. So probably you missed some enemy men somewhere.

You can select/deselect a time limit before battle in the campaign mode, by going to game options

I had almost the same thing happened
I was finnishing off routing enemies in battle and I did except for 1 last surviver I couldn't find. So I kept looking in the radar and found him/her/it at the edge of the map stuck between a house/hut and the red line

. As obvious I send my cavalry to attack but wouldn't

. So I send 4 Line Infantry to shoot the last enemy except they wouldn't

. Finally I send my Horse Artillery hoping they could do the job, but they would't even though I put them close and set at canister shots

. I had no other choice but to exit the battle which I lost. WTF

I had to reload and reply the battle at the end.
