Auto-calc?

Hello to all of you, EB fans!

I've been wonderin', reading lots of threads about AI, and traits and remarked a lot of post that mentions auto-calc. and I was wondering : Isn't it supposed to be the fun of EB to fight it out in the field of honor

? I'm not trying to criticise, but I can't understand why the auto-calc seems to be so popular!

Any opinion?

Well:

1. EB Battles take time, a lot of time.

2. After fighting 1000000 seleukid stacks it gets boring killing every 2 unit stacks
3. It addes a challenge cause auto calc is good for everything.
4. People who like to roleplay a lot, might not be interested in getting to involved into fighting

I can understand the issue if you have to fight a two unit stack of rebel with your crack elite royal army, but for roleplaying, (that's really just my opinion) roleplaying the gens on the battlefield, I think, only can add to the fun, aren't you agree?

Auto-calc just sucks... For example... I wanted to see the next turn, becouse i had huge plans in greece and a city of mine in Spain was besieged.... It was a 1:1 ratio of armies, and hit the auto-calc... My army lost BADLY. I had something like 200 kills, while the 1500 of my men were slaughtered.

I restarted the game, and played the battle myself... The archers and slingers alone killed more than 800 enemies, without me doing as much as move a mussle. The battle ended without me doing anything but sitting and watching for 40 minutes with me losing less then 60 men, while my opponents army was completly destroyed.

That's what sucks about Auto-calc... It would be very usefull uf you could just click auto-calc on those battle which are of low importance and impossible to lose

In those cases, you would be advised to open up RomeShell with ~ and type in auto_win attacker if you are the attacker or auto_win defender if you are the defender.

Personally, I never use auto-calc except in naval engagements...

Isn't this what the auto_win cheat is for?
