RE: Feature Request: More merciful spawn-hog Win
It is impossible.

Proof:

1. In order for a player to have only medics or mobis, the other player must have killed all his other units. (Principle of Can't-Kill-Your-Own-Units)
2. If the other player killed all his units, then the other player must have at least one unit that isn't a medic or a mobi with which he killed those units. (Principle of Medics-And-Mobis-Can't-Kill-Units)
3. Therefore, if a player has only medics or mobis, then the other player has units that are not medics or mobis. (from 1 and 2)
4. Both players have only medics or mobis. (Premise under consideration)
5. Therefore, both players must have units that are not medics or mobis. (From 3 and 4)

Contradiction between 4 and 5!

Therefore, 4 is false.

Corollary: It is technically possible, though unlikely, to surround an unrooted bramble such that it cannot spawn thorns anywhere or move. If both players were each to kill all the other player's units except for medics and a single bramble by attacking them with thorns and then unrooting the bramble, it is theoretically possible for each player to surround their opponent's bramble with medics and hog their opponent's spawn with another medic. In such a situation, neither player would have any reason to move their medics and neither would be able to kill any of the opposing player's medics. This would constitute a stalemate situation.

I think... This is assuming the bramble itself can't prick adjacent enemies. Is that accurate?

If you don't get my jokes, it's because of Postmodernism.
