Autoresolve and Unit sizes

**svisvisvisvi** · March 31, 2016, 12:50 PM

I am in more for the "strategy-light" part of TW games and tactical battles for some reason are just not my thing.

So the most reliable predictor of a victory on autoresolve is the size of your stack vs enemy

Thus a couple of stacks of Roman Rorarii can handily defeat any stack of most elite anything or take a city of any size

The thing is Romans seem to have these units of 225 men for under a 100 upkeep
Germans seem to have the large units too.
Cartage has local levy options for a little more expensive but still they are available with some management and shuttling

Eastern faction/Egyptians. not so much. Maybe I am not looking at the right place. Yet does that much anyone's experience here?

Thank you

So what is your point?
Auto resolve has always been and most likely, since parts of it is hardcoded, be screwed when it comes to being balanced. You can even go the other way around and have an elite army lose a lot of troops to a less elite army. That is why it has always been recommended to play the battles yourself as auto resolve wont ever be 100% balanced.
There are others who will be capable of explaining this a lot better.

Actually, fully elite army will still beat even more numerous armies in auto resolve.

That's true, the stats do matter, so also the better your general is the more likelt you are to win. You'll still suffer huge losses tho

KAM, maybe a fully elite army could, as romans on vh, playing against the ai, well, they just don't make fully elite armies. I'm using rorarii only armies and steamrolling anything
