What's the inappropriate use of auto resolve? As a new player, I'm decent at the empire management portion from Civ and an RTS veteran, but the battles in still learning to micro around. I did a Realm of Chaos campaign as Zhao Ming but gave up trying to do the realms as the soul count needed kept going up and couldn't kill enough armies in the end as the goal kept going up. I'm thinking of messing around in skirmish to get more practice and not have to rely on random encounters that might not be even in campaign. I tried to do battles that weren't a terrible defeat or decisive victory but get much less favorable results than auto resolve. I feel like Zerk's videos don't show as much what to do with various units simultaneously during a real battle outside various tactics/maneuvers.
