Author"COWARDS" like me should have their freedom to run
just like there is a retreat button in the real game there is also a auto combat button which lets the computer take control, but on the actual game u click it before battle, i think it would work. the only thing i can seethe admins disagreeing is that it will encorage farming and make it very easy to do.
for FastGambler1980:
first of all there are many battles then u can win even if it not looks so, like one of mine past then i was a necro and becous of ally hu AFKed from begining two of us (necros) was left against 3 elves and we manage to win
second as told someone before - respect others and their time, becouse of u and so long battles become even longer, if u do not wonna win then at least rash forward whit screems "please kill me fast"
fird u speaking of respect but there is yours? i know there not much players respect enemies, they more like to do something nasty to them like AFK so they could not get their exp or sey something nasty even if enemi loosing like "HAHA i won" and "u are looser!" but do u finked eny minute what that enemi like u just wish to have fun, not to white wile your army will die till u AFK, what he prepered to battle better and would get his earned exp, used artes and if it wassent u, but someone else in your place he would get his exp but becouse of u he just lost time, brouke arts and get bad mood?
fourth do not forget that even loosing side gets something and that something is even beter then winners get - they can get good racial skill if played good enought whit out having tons of exp

i do not juje u and others AFKers, i have better thighs to do then fight whit likes like u, but atleast dont make fool of u by topics like that.
Going AFK is rude. Going AFK voluntarily is even more rude. It wastes at least 2"30 time for each other player involved and kills all hopes of winning for a whole team.

Worse still, some people play badly and go AFK because they suffered a few blows, without realizing the battle is far from over.

Sometimes I felt the battle was lost from turn 2 or had my Bowmen and Forest Keepers all dead then, leaving me only a handful of Druids with no mana left. Did I quit? No. Because it's more entertaining and honorable to die with honour, to try to get maximum faction points, to fight to the bitter end, against all odds.

Telling it's a waste of time is a wrong excuse. You had time to play this battle otherwise you wouldn't have joined, would you?
Better suicide if u don't want to wait...
Just don't go AFK...
Ur just leaving ur teammate when u see that ur side is loosing, that very unfair to your teammate, consider how their feelings toward you.
On 3 vs 3 battle, everyone should try their best to win, not to be a burden to their teammates.

Quit button that u mentioned just will screw the game, everyone that don't likes their teammates will hit the "quit" button and the battle will become unfair from the start.

I suggest this game has a reputation lv, so we can see if this people an AFK'ers or not.
I have a suggestion here that we should have a history of how many times disconnect or leaving in the middle of a battle you got. Then have a option when you open a team battle to define that people who has more than a certain percent of disconnection can't attend.
I think the best way to make people not AFK is heavy penalty.

People who leave battle should get -500*combat level exp points.
For example if he is a level 5, we will get -2500 exp points.

This will make people think twice before leaving the battle.
I know that sometimes we can leave battle because of Internet problem but it won't happens too many times and this could makes all of us fight until the end of battle.
For example if he is a level 5, we will get -2500 exp points.
Typo:
I mean "For example if he is a level 5, he will get -2500 exp points if he afk."
A "surrender" button isn't really necessary. There's already a surrender option available and people are actually doing it. It's called going "away from keyboard"....

Point is, the absence of surrender buttons doesn't really encourage people to play to the end. And finishing a game with an afked loser is a major waste of time especially if you're all down to druids with no more shots left...
And to illustrate my point...

I think, it would have been much better if Zzharg was given the chance to end the game. It would have given us all about 4-5 more minutes for troops to recover...
