in combat mana stops recharging after turn 25 or so?

As to not going more than a few rounds, it simply means you're not playing to optimize score by minimizing/eliminating loses or completing in the fastest time on the overland map.

Players who go for many rounds tend not to be doing it because they have to, they're doing it as part of a strategy.

Thanks, Stepsongrapes, I was actually going to link to that post, lol.

i was using strategy or anything im still new to this game battles dont usually last that long for me but this was the level 30 tournament fight, and i was only level 20 so it was an epic battle lasting ages. at around turn 20 all i had left was a bunch of orc shaman and all he had was a bunch of beholders and a few cyclops (i think). At that point it got painfully slow. At around turn 39 i gave up cause i wasn't going to win without mana.
