Automatic battles = faster XP gain?

always a dilema, that. Auto_win or not, the attrition's always far more than a manual battle. =/

I never use autowin, but autocalc battles tend to give me more chevrons

Me to. What does autowin actually do? And how ethical is to use something called "autowin"? Is that considered cheating?

It is a cheat using the Console to tell the engine to win an autoresolved battle for you. You take more losses and get more chevrons.

My game runs slowly though, so rather than spending 30+ minutes on my 50th+ identical battle against one of those three or Eleutheroi... sometimes I cannot be bothered and Auto_win them. You only do it if you knew for certain that you will win manually. But it is essentially a cheat.

I use it often for late game sieges because my game tends to crash any year past 230 involving a siege and unless its a huge garrison, I use auto_win knowing that I will win.

siege are fun IMO, the idea is to garrison with archers and slingers. You either whittle them down enough to retreat, or they breach your walls and slaughter your men. Helps if you can set their towers on fire.
