Auto resolve everything is silly, on the harder difficulty levels auto resolving just leads to losing every battle unless u have overwhelming odds in your favor. at least that is my experience.

personally I was drawn to this series of games by the combination of strategy map and tactical battles, but I agree with cheetah that the current battle map AI is so tactically poor as to render the strategic AI (however good), utterly toothless
