Is there a rule that forces the battle to end after X turns if no damage has been dealt by either side?

- If you pass some turn without damage, battle quicky end like as withdraw.
- If fight take too many turn, battle ends as a withdraw. If just experienced it with a unit impossible to kill as attacker (because of regen); but this unit stoped to do damage too as he cannot approch my last units wihout been killed, and a cannot approch it too because of defensive building i stayed near to defend..

I've never had a battle withdraw from taking too long. So I doubt it is anything small.
5 turns with no damage = stalemate, the attacking armies withdraw with 0 movement points.
To be verified, but its seems it is more exactly "X turns (5 you said, may be this) during the attacker do not give damage" = slatemate.
I just experienced a fight where only defender do damage to the attacker, and fight ended as a withdraw.
The situation is : attacker as AI with hero alone (after a big fight) with big regeneration, but defenders regrouped near defense turret with 2 units.
Each time attacker approach, he was damaged by the long range unit, and then go back to regen.
I think if he approach it could be killed, but i'm not sure.
It's the fist time i saw AI unit go back to avoid damage,
In every fight AI can do that but when life unit is near 0; it was not.
There is a total turn limit too, but I have never met it. I think it is like 50 turns or something.
After five turns of no damage dealing actions from both parties the battle ends. This mechanic can be exploited in defence by avoiding the opposition with a fast moving unit. Even garrisons can employ this tactic.
