So you 150 rounds invested in defense and then wonder established stalemate?
Look above: normal battle shall not be extended for up to 200-th round. 50-100, at high difficulty levels - 150 maximum, due to the fact that you need to pay more attention to defense. Otherwise fights are boring.

Why mass zombies? Where are your black dragons? Where hundreds of summoned elemental messengers? Where are golems, gorynyches, dracoliches? Have you ever played for all the fighting built the Titans? You tried to kill enemy commanders with their own archangels? You ended the battle with three of Armageddon in a row?

The main task of the commander - to survive. Sometimes obscured by how hardy squad, frail archers and war machines. Commander can not completely destroy the enemy without support. He needs a physical and / or magical support. Otherwise invest all only into commander will be the most effective tactic.

Of course, you can change the game to your taste, but until you will know all of its features and tactics, such changes will not improve the game.
