Ridiculous Auto Resolve

**Eryn** · April 06, 2011, 05:53 PM

Well on the one hand I do understand that orcs need an adavantage over the "good" races in auto-resolve to keep the game balanced.

But on the other hand...
After playing 240 turns of game(playing as lorien elves(frome)) I am sick of fighting for 3 hours in every single turn and I would love to have a fair autoresolve. I have to fight harad, gondor, ered luin dwarves, highelves and erbeor dwarves at the same time(I already killed Isengart, Rohan, Dunlendings, Orcs of Gundabad, OotMM and Eriador(gondor is down to dol amroth, which I can't kill cause then harad takes my gondorian settlements^^) and I have at least 2 battles per 3 rounds at/around Coldfelles.

The terrain in Coldfells is really intersting. On two sides of the city there are steeeeeeeeeeeep mountains and on the other two sides there is an even steeper vale. Due to that my reinforcing armies are either totally exhausted when arriving to the Battlefield or even better are not finding a path. That makes it even more annyoing for me to have to fight so many battles in Coldfells.

Furthermore in autoresolve my armies seem totally unable to win a 4:1 fight (me:enemy) if the enemy is a dwarf which is pissing me off. Or another example:
it's a 1:1 battle, I autoresolve and lose crushingly - I reload - I fight myself and don't lose a single man. It just simply doesn't make any sense.

Is there a way to take dwarven autoresolving superpowers from them? Similiar problems with Harad though.

And am I the only one who is pissed by that?^^

Oh, I love the mod!!!

Try playing on normal?

This is why you've got to leave some enemy factions alive, just to give the incompetent non-player factions something else to do while you're fulfilling your victory conditions. BTW, did you say you're playing as an elf faction? Dude, what are doing fighting the Dwarves? Just them some money every few turns and leave them a faction with one territory to beat-up on.

He is 240 turns into the game, I doubt he wants to start again.

Well I didn't plan on attacking any good faction. But when I beat up OMM OoG Dunlendings and was just about to kill isen, rohan attacked me for some reason. So I fought him back which made Gondor attack me which made Eriador attack me which made Dwarves attack me which made Ered Luin attack me which made High Elves unallying me and attack me.

Victory Conditions were fullfilled long ago

But now I want all Eriador as my territory and as a punishment for those backstabbing Dwarves and Elves.

Normal is boring with Elves. Too easy.

Dwarves owns in autoresolve because of their huge armor, relatively good numbers and no cavalry (which doesn't do very well in autoresolve). Archers doesn't perform very well too. So, you basically have one of the armies that are easier to beat with autoresolve regardless of difficulty level.

Quote KK (from the DEV forum):

autoresolve: is as good as it can be. On "medium" difficulty it should be quite ok, on higher diff. it favors the AI, of course. I already did everything the engine allows to improve AR.
