One time as the turkish I was besieging the byzantine emperor, all by himself with no other troops with him at all, (I had killed them), he came out to fight and I auto resolved to see what happened... he killed about half of my armyof 600, i reloaded an fought it myself, and just used spearmen against him, and he only killed about 20. He was a rank 5 though. I advise strongly against auto resolving although I do it a lot myself
