Just wondering...large battles and game length

I was wondering here as to what was the largest (in terms of troops from both sides) battle that you had ever seen?

Also, what was the longest game that you played under standard victory conditions?

Largest battle: 1 Nataraja against 3187 assorted longdead, soulless, and ghouls. The Nataraja won, slaying about 1800 before the time elapsed and the battle ended in retreat for the attacking horde.

Longest game: Ulm, World Map, 387 turns.

Im too impatient to try new things so my battles never seem to reach really EPIC proportions. I may steal one from my brother-in-law because I think it would be really cool to record a small movie file of just a camera-zoom and flyover of a really big battle. I think such an avi or mpeg would be neat to offer from the Illwinter or Shrapnel site as part of "screenshots" so that people considering the game can see one. (hint hint in case anyone wants to do one)

I usually stop playing my games around turn 80 or 100. By then BoT has been up for 40 or 50 turns, gem and gold income is very high, research done and no AI close to being a challenge.

What kind of equipment did the Blue Blender in question have? And what magic?

And did the Natty receive any afflictions?
