I hate autoresolve with a burning passion. But i'll be damned if it isn't much much better at taking cities than I am. Taking a huge city with cannon towers and a few hundred archers as defense? No problem! We'll do it and only lose one man!

I would love to know how the A.I thinks that is possible. Because I've yet to be able to do it. It can even take cities when 99% of its army consists of cavalry, and the rest in one unit of peasants with a ladder.
