So during a few pvp's before I have had to wait out the remaining time as a loser and victor. While either their/my units have fled or dead the rewards page does not show up causing use to have to wait the time out. While this was a huge pain when timer was 15 mins not so bad anymore thanks devs Smile

I believe this happens because of invisible units that are still considered alive by the game (I think they can also still move and attack, though you can't directly control them.) In matches against the AI I think the AI can still control the units, which is why it doesn't usually last the whole timer when it happens in coop or solo. At any rate, if you scour the map enough (easier to do when you have cavalry), sometimes you can find the offending invisible units before time runs out.

This was in a pvp so I know for a fact that he couldn't have invisible units anywhere.

Being in a PvP doesn't prevent you from having invisible "dead" units. Once all my men in PvP were "dead" but the match didn't end. I heard marching sounds so I double-pressed one of my hotkeys, and my "dead" unit was marching and moving around on it's own! (I had no control over him!) I think it actually happens more often in PvP than anywhere else. The match ended when my "dead" uncontrollable unit ran into an enemy unit.

That must be the same problem the ghostly archers have. Did the other player in his UI see his units dead?

When it happened to me in PvP, my units showed up as if they were dead. I only found the offending unit by tapping hotkeys over and over till I noticed one of them actually moving while they were dead.

Happened to me a bunch of time too... and yes the unit is invisible, the other player not able to control it and if you find it you can kill it and end the match.
