[1.4] Auto resolve - 1 weak archer delivers heavy damage to late game epic stack

from Stardock Forums

We all know there are issues with auto resolve, but I thought this was a shining example of just how bad it is.

My late game epic stack battles a shammon's army.

The troops 1-hit kill all of them except a lone archer that is about 2 turns away at the back of the battlefield.

I'm bored, so instead of chasing him, I just press auto resolve. I won (thank goodness), but all of my heavily armored troops (40+ defense) sustain 50-70 points of damage each.

That must have been one hell of a powerful bow that lowly creature was weilding... 8(| .

yeah something is whack with auto-resolve

I recently had an auto-resolve allow my weak hero stack to slay a dragon with no casualties.

iir Procipinee shadow warg, ice elemental, and 4 militia upgraded to leather and hammers.

I had been hoping to sneak by foolish, but didn't have much choice and was so happy I quickly saved so sadly I don't have a save game to post and experiment to see if it can happen again.

yup, Had a knight army on horses wearing plate mail + hero all combined together have total of 2800 hp, and each unit is capable of dealing 100+ dmg per strike.

 

Autoresolves on a Haunter army with six poisoned panthers and four nagas. 588 hp in total.

48 deadknights and still alive hero. Somehow the nagas and poisoned panthers is capable of killing 2800 hp worth of knights at level 10. They was lvl 6.

and the haunter army is wiped.

 

Me is like lolwut, fuck you i reload and fought the battle manually.

 

And I see that poisoned panthers only have 35 hp, and nagas only have 24, and the haunter.. 55! Meanwhile a single knight unit haz over 200 hp.

Needless to say the manual battle was nothing but one sided rout for the panthers, autoresolve is bullshit. The most they could do to my knights is 5-7 dmg per hits.

 

Never autoresolve against Haunters, Shrills, Wildling shamans. They're BS. I've lost whole armies to them on auto resolve and forced to reload n fight them personally.
