There's a concept like this. It's not called "perfect war" it's called a stalemate. And you know there's two words in it that describe the situation perfectly. Stale, mate.

So then games become a matter of who can spam the most units?

I've played these "big games lasting several hours" before. They got boring after the 45-60 minute mark and they're exhausting -- both physically and mentally. If you like these games play FFA on maps like sandcastles2big. Games like AI War are designed to be less demanding than ZK and its ilk.
