I think anyone who claims to adhere to Iron Man rules or No Cheesy Tactics when playing a campaign game should NEVER autoresolve a siege.
I see posts on siege tactics involving "just autoresolve it" because you get less losses. Yeah, because its a bug. You see how bad the AI is - do you really think its that much smarter than you in sieges that it loses less men? I'm thinking the castle defences just might not be factored in or something.
Either way, if you claim to be good at the game, play out your sieges. And I don't want to hear people say that it "takes too long". That's a lie. If you're really impatient, all you need to do is set up your siege engines to fire at the walls, and then turn speed up to 10x until your siege engines die or the walls break down, then send in your men. Takes 5 minutes. Autoresolving is VERY cheesy because it is taking advantage of the AI. You KNOW for a fact you'll get less losses by autoing it, and thats just a lot of cheese.
