Autoresolve tier list?

[Dean Winchester]

Which factions have the strongest and weakest autoresolve? I'd like to know so I can avoid playing the weaker factions.

I know for a fact that vampire counts have awful autoresolve which forces you to fight basically every battle. I was just doing a dark elf campaign and I had to manually fight almost every battle as well.

What are some other factions with awful autoresolve?

[Mr Robert House]

dark elves should have ok autoresolve if you spam shades

[Rack]

Tomb Kings and Vampire Coast have weak autoresolve. Same thing applies to Brettonia.

Dark Elves arent weak in autoresolve. It depends what army you like to use.

Top 5 AR kings
1. Empire -19 Hellblasters (early game Volkmar 19 Free company is beast too)
2. VCoast -zombie bombers / bloated corpses
3. Wood Elves -19 Waywatchers / Sister on horses forgot their name
4.Thrott - Ikit Claw alot of their units are OP in AR .
5. Skarsnik and nasty skulkers and big orc bosses oh and Grimgor

Last place bretonnia , save Louen and Hippos

Generally, the higher ranked your unit's are compared to the enemy, the better your autoresolve is.
Heavy armor + shielded unit's count for alot. Heavy armor + missile attack counts for alot. Heavy armor + high stats count for alot. Explosive damage counts for alot.

Aka. Ironbreakers are stupidly strong in auto resolve, even in fights they should lose. They lose way more models in autoresolve then most other elite infantry due to being ranged as well.

Any unit that's labeled expendable tanks your autoresolve. Hence why VC with lots of zombies is so weak.
Yet the AI always rushes black knights, who are really strong in autoresolve in early game.

Or be manfred and totally flip an "Decisive Victory" against an generic level 10 vampire lord to an "Crushing Defeat" because he is the special.
Legendary lords definetly have a way, way higher balance of power in autoresolve which leads to really dumb situations.
Grimgor apparently also has a crap-ton of Autoresolve power, not even level 15 and can apparently wipe out an entire dwarf garrison in a tier 3 settlement.

Empire and skaven both have the unit with the most broken AR. But empire stay on top of anything mainly due to its unit stats boost and also hidden boost even for his basic unit like crossbowman. Skaven infantry and monster has crap AR while empire greatsword is not.

Vcoast has about 1/3 unit with good and decent AR while the others are pure crap.

Dwarf has insane AR as well due to their range unit and armor.

Wood elf has insane AR only if you max their bonus stats.

Dark elf has black ark and very good AR with most of their unit. Nothing beat max black ark on sea other than probably 19 heroes spam.

[DeepDorkFantasy]

yeah, Empire tier 1 and 2 infantry has an absurd amount of autoresolving power, this is the main reason, why Ordertide is a thing

[Slap Happy Pappy]

Look up unit values in multi player. That is basically what autoresolve uses. Now add a bonus to ammunition using troops, and you can get a good idea.

This is why free company militia is such a beast. They are counted twice. Once as ranged and again as melee.
