RTW Fast Battles

[Colovion]

I think the battle speed is a welcome change. Some battles in M:TW took over an hour to finish (I remember someone mentioned a Mongol Horde battle that lasted 5 hours.) In the beginning of any campaign I almost always personally do the battles, but once I get past 75-100 years I start auto calcing a lot. When I have something like 4000 vs 5000 every few turns it gets a bit annoying and drawn out.

have you found the speed slider yet?

[Sethik]

Even with the slider it still takes a while and sometimes I can't use the slider because I have to be able to make split second decisions (thank you pause button.)

I find using double speed on slider combined with pausing means decent tactical results as well as little time wasted.

Also when you use the fast forward the normal speed hot key becomes very unresponsive; I don't remember this being a problem in MTW with CTRL+T.
