do you consider autoresolving battles cheating?

I've lost sieges when I had numerical superiority when auto-resolving.

I generally use it when I massively outnumber the enemy and I want to get on to something more exciting.

I concur. Sometimes my army is so superior and it is not such fun to chase the enemy around the board, so I just auto-resolve and get onto the challenges of War.....

In the early battles, it's a lot better to play them out. Later on, I start to auto-resolve everything unless I would lose, in which case I would be forced to play the battle. It'd take way too long to finish a campaign, otherwise.

same here... i used to autoresolve captains' and play out family members' battles but towards the end you have loads of F. members and it gets very tedious when you are basically fighting the same battles again and again... i don't consider it cheating at all

It's part of the game after all. The fact that you can routinely get less casualties in sieges with autocalc makes it a slight exploit at times.

You can't assault a Huge City against an enemy with archers and only lose 78 men.They lost 300 of 700, last time I checked all my siege battles ended in me having to kill every single enemy soldier.

Then again I dont have the patience to fight them all, but it makes me cringe just slightly when I see the results. Bare in mind this is on medium. I only do it for small stack clear ups and some sieges.
