Currently, how many fights to have depends on the population size before the fights start occurring. I think the estimated number of fights needs to go down as the population goes down. So conceptually, we would have a percentage variable that always tells you how far along the fights are. Then every X deaths or so, the number of fights total is recalculated, and then the percentage is taken out of that. In this way, the percentage till done is always known, but the actual number of fights to have goes down and doesn't risk the current "catastrophic loss" situation, where fighters are very effective an quickly whittle down a huge population to a small one, but the total fights number keeps pitting them against each other.
