That is a tough one. Drone's comments parallel my own, including the wife who is not happy to ever see me playing PC games (yet she'll watch dramas for hours, go figure). Autoresolving some of the battles will speed things up, but mostly just allowing the time. I do sometimes use the speed slider too, but it is worrying when troops run off and you missed it as your had the speed in hyperdrive!

Happy battling,
