Autoresolve is there so you can always skip battles if you are tired, don't have time to play or whatever. If there was no autoresolve many people would just burn out.

I'd probably lose interest in the game if I couldn't auto-resolve through sieges. They're fun every once in a while but they become a slog when they start comprising the majority of your battles.

Auto resolve just needs a big overhaul, its needed to not make campaigns drag on with boring stomp fights, but as it is atm you can play trough on VH and auto resolve majority of the battles in the campaign, basicly taking away most of the difficulty. Regarding the beastmen battle preview, the beastpath map does look cool as hell, but the tiny little normal sized tree's just look rather odd against the gigantic tree's and poo poo in the background.

I feel that the way autoresolve gives huge advantages to one side has done wonders for the AI's ability to consolidate and maintain inertia, I wish it wasn't as loopsided for the player though, but I don't think it is possible to make it operate on different rulesets with a "player=yes" check or whatever.

I really don't remember using auto resolve in rome 1 and medieval 2 quite as much, or at the very least manually fighting would always be preferred to auto resolving to keep the death counts low on evenly matched fights. It can be impossible to keep the death counts as low in a manual battle as auto resolve gives you most of the time. Especially if it's multi-stack battles and your reinforcements aren't coming from the right direction or you can't get all of your reinforcements to fight at the same time.

The best case scenario would be if autoresolve always performed noticeably worse than manually fighting the battle by whatever small amount that wouldn't be too awful. Right now you're just 100% better off by autoresolving 90% of the battles which is a bit of an issue.

Counter to this, smart play (and sometimes a healthy dose of luck/AI being dumb) means you can win battles you play that autoresolve says you have no chance. It's true that this doesn't change the fact that for the most part, yes, you are better off just autoresolving most battles.

I'm not sure about autoresolving giving me lower death counts on even battles. Things usually seem pretty comparable on that front. The main divergences I notice are lower losses on siege battles where I have the advantage, which has been a thing since forever. Autoresolve also seems to kill fewer of the defeated army's men than I usually manage in manual, and I can often squeeze out close victories when the bar is in the 30% range.

I tend to do a lot better sieging manually because you can abuse the tower cone of fire so badly, and heroes can do some pretty ridiculous work on the walls and in those narrow streets. Autoresolve tends to be kinda lovely as the vamp counts as well, since you can't group everyone up and replenish most of your losses with overcasted nehek during the routing phase. There are definitely fights that I could not have won manually that autoresolve gives me a victory for, though. Particularly when I have a lot of garbage units and a higher level lord, which the calculations seem to favor.

Yeah, autoresolve can be somewhat wonky but mostly just in that it largely ignores siege defenses and favors big piles of lovely units more than it should. (And also ignores difficulty settings, but that will probably get fixed.) Aside from that the reinforcement bug has sometimes forced me to auto-resolve battles I could have won easily if not for random reinforcement point shuffling, which I don't feel particularly guilty about.

madmac posted:(And also ignores difficulty settings, but that will probably get fixed.) I think this is the key behind some people reporting that auto-resolve yields less casualties while others do not. There is no way in hell that you can consistently match the low casualties of auto-resolve with manual battles on Very Hard when the enemy takes forever to break thanks to buffed leadership. But on normal or easy I can see it happening.

It does what you're talking about through giving bonuses to the Major factions when they resolve against Minor factions, which never applies when autoresolving against the player. I'm not sure if it's actually enabled but going by files it's also generating 5 "rivals" based on your victory provinces and who you're currently at war with. Your rivals also get bonuses against non-rivals and non-majors, to help them become greater threats. The real issue with autoresolve is, for whatever reason, they did not tie it to difficulty level. In past games the AI would get bonuses against you based on your chosen difficulty, both artificially inflating their troop count for the calculations and giving them a bonus chance of victory beyond that. This would help a lot with the "AI is obnoxiously cowardly and won't engage" complaints, which was always the intent when they'd implemented it in the past--they don't need double the troops to win against you on legendary and autoresolve should reflect that for them.

Game was working perfectly fine for months and I can't think of anything that triggered it.

How were you rolling back graphics drivers? If you did it via windows driver rollback that's going to be issues since both microsoft and nvidia recommend against doing that--you should either manually remove your stuff via add/remove and lots of separate, tedious cleaning or use a program like display driver uninstaller before manually reinstalling whichever driver version you want. When you reinstalled from scratch did you also delete the appdata folder in its entirety? You might even want to try just doing that with whatever install you currently have, if that wasn't a folder you've tried deleting. You can backup the savegame folders in there first since those shouldn't be the cause of any issues.

I had a stack of 1 Vampire Lord, 2 Vampiresses, 8 Grave Guard w/ Great Weapons and 2 Terrogheists ready to siege a full stack + garrison of Empire troops. I would have won handily with a 3/4 bar advantage. I added 3 zombies to the army and my success rate when to 1/2.

Can I get a little help deciphering the finer points of skill descriptions. From what I understand this skill will constantly heal friendly units within range unless <Engaged in Melee>. Who is it that can not be engaged in melee for the skill to work? If the necromancer can keep healing the battle line in from of him as long as he himself is not bashing anyone this sounds like a really nice skill. If he can only heal units that are out of combat it sounds like a waste of a skill point. Anyone know which it is?
