    I'd say time is the huge issue. For those that say they "never" use auto-calc, I'd wonder if they ever finished a full campaign without blitzing.

    I play on VH so I can't use it too much anyways, without taking a huge risk. But for non important battles, I consider it a handy tool. Besides, it's far from a cheat when you actually take more losses.

    I wish there was a setting for auto-calc difficulty. I wish it was in sink with battle difficulty.


    But just the other day, I was feeling lazy and I auto-calc an important battle that I had good odds on. I lost the battle and killed 200, while the AI destroyed 1200. I HAD to reload the game, which I hate doing and only do in extreme cases that are usually no fault of my own.

    In the future, since I don't really reload, I just have to be a stickler about ONLY using auto-calc on unimportant battles. Normally I might not have even reloaded, but I felt I was cheated. The AI can have so many stacks while me so few. I couldn't let my only army in that area be destroyed, unless it was destroyed with me in command.
    Imo, the following "mod" is almost perfect:

    Auto calc must be paired with auto_win too, have you heard ridiculous army of 3 rorarii beats a fullstack of hoplite army? That's the worst that I've had...

    Sadly no.... that was what happened when I assault Capua on my Kart-Hadast campaign that becomes those Crazy AAR.... I just pretty confidence, that 8 hoplitai and 2 samnites can take em without any mess... of course the autoresolve sucks!

    That's it, all my illusions about the greatness of the hoplite tradition are vanished, they're no more than the petty velites or some Helots putted on the battlefield against some mighty warriors weilding clubs and nearly no clothes that I can't name because it'll be consider as Sweboz spam... Damn... I said it... sorry!

    (No offence, it's only jokes!)

    Hehehe... we all know about how sucks autoresolve in VH campaign mate.... but if we play medium campaign, everything only goes as breeze.... why aren't you try to autoresolve 10 wothiz watha against 3 rorarii instead? without auto_win of course!
