Units become more valuable. They need to think about moves more. I dont like to automatically assume its just they dont want to play a losing game.

Exactly. I tend to play slowly at almost all times, really, because rushing your moves isn't generally a good idea. But I especially slow down when the situation is dire.

Unless it's obviously hopeless. Then I look at it carefully for a few minutes to ensure that it's actually hopeless and I make my moves.
