Auto-calc balance

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

In addition to what already has been said, the game seems to fail to take walls into account when considering auto-calculated victories. In many cases battles which I could have won with walls in place seem to act as if it were simply a plain open field. Since my garrisons are usually deliberately small due to the difficulty foes have assaulting stone walls, this is especially noticeable in my campaigns.

Thx for the replies, each bit of info is of immeasurable help :) Do you believe that horse-archers are overpowered or underpowered in auto-resolve?

Horse Archers are, in my opinion, underpowered in autoresolve compared to their performance overall on the battlemap. As said, it seems that their ability to attack from a distance and keep out of the way of melee weapons is completely ignored and are treated as if they are simply charging head on into the enemy.

Definitely underpowered. I've rarely won an auto-resolve battle in my current Parthian campaign. As said before it definitely seems as if the AI just makes the two sides collide in hand-to-hand, and we all know that Horse Archer hand-to-hand combat is usually not pretty.

On the contrary, I rarely lose auto-resolve battles against Parthia, if I remember correctly (I haven't played as Seleucids or anyone near them in a while).
