They Ruined single player

[Warmancr1]

they took out company to company battles so whats to do now, and the AI air born comes in and takes out a tank division no issue at all. they have a 2 star infantry unit that takes out everything. i guess i will have to wait to continue my single player game because its garbage now.

I am not sure what is going on with your game but i am having a little more fun than before the patch. So i would say that saying it is garbage is just plain wrong.

[Warmancr1]

It's garbage you may not like playing the skirmishes with the ai but I do i I want to play the way it is now I would play a paradox game.

This is Beyond stupid. We might as well go play Risk. WHY did they turn all the fights into auto battles?

[Darth Alpharius]

I wouldnt have mind doing every battles on Open fields as Ive yet to See the AI garrison towns outside of missions.

Relic please give choice to select skirmish or auto resolve.

Skirmish is all i play. With the AI. And i have a blast. So not garbage.

It's because the Ai is pretty stupid. You could easily win vs ai when you only had 25% chance but now by forcing sim battles, it becomes more about positioning proper type of units and supports on the map than just doing battles. You spend way more time playing "Risk" than RTS battles, which is a negative in my book... I bought this game for RTS not "Risk".

In the Total War series you could decide wether or not u want to auto-resolve or fight a battle. Brilliant idea, because sometimes I want to fight those battles, sometimes the outcome is better if played by me. So why doesn't relic do it that way. Yes, autoresolve may be useful, but not being able to fight those battles doesn't make any sense.

[robert.miller65]

auto resolve? I haven't seen that in AI skirmish games i play, that i know of.

Then improve the AI. Don't turn the game into something I wouldn't have bought.

Exactly and that is how it was. This isn't the game I bought and now i dont want to play it.

Then your not experiencing what he's talking about. He means that in the Italy Campaign when 1 company attacks another company you used to be to choose whether to auto resolve the battle or fight it. It doesnt give you that option anymore. It just auto resolves all the company on company battles which is really dumb

[dezosseur]

That's strange change indeed. Please make it like before, with choice.

Just to clarify, we did not remove skirmishes. Skirmishes will still occur when you face an enemy Company in a city. You'll also see a label next to a city or town that indicates whether it is a main story mission, or a skirmish. Company versus Company combat out on the open map is the only one that will auto-resolve, however, this is now more complex with veterancy, health, scouting and supporting elements (Navy, Air, Partisans, supporting Companies) all playing a bigger part. Additionally, company types (infantry, armor, artillery) work in a rock-paper-scissors fashion, so it will be more critical ensuring you have the right Company before engaging the enemy.

[dezosseur]

Well. I'll have to try it before judging. Thanks for your answer, John.
