Even if you manage to push one empire and its, say, 500 troops back to a sanc, you simply can't lock the third empire out of a fight for long. :/
no shit
Spawning options in combination with missions and continent sanctuaries are going to have a massive impact on the flow of battle and I personally fear the result will be endless stalemates.

there's got to be some way to *control* a continent.
