Horrible space auto-resolve

[Jedi Master Tofu]

  I have had EaW for about 3 weeks now, and I have come to realize that the auto-resolve engine is the worst I have ever used. I will go into a battle with: the Death Star, 5 ISDs, 5 Victory Star Destroyers, 8 Tartan Patrol Cruisers, 6 Acclamators, 2 Interdictors, 3 Broadside Cruisers, and the pop cap edited from 20 to 100. The enemy (rebels) will only have 3 Nebulon-B Frigates, a squad of Y-Wings, a squad of X-Wings, and a level 2 Space Station. When I do the auto-resolve I will loose 2 ISDs, 1 VSD, 2 Tartan Patrol Cruisers,and an Acclamator. The enemy will make it away with 2 Nebulon-B Frigates left. WHAT KIND OF AUTO-RESOLVE IS THAT!!?? I have 20 times the amount of firepower and I loose 3 times the amount of units they have. When I do the battle myself the enemy is completely wiped out and my units Shields haven't even been 15% damaged. To me, that is a major bug that needs to be fixed.

Don't get so angry buddy.

your extra losses were because you weren't helping your fleet. Of course you are going to lose more units. It shows the added influence that you have over your troops.

Auto resolve= Putting an idiot incharge.

I think you should be encouraged to lead the battle, but I think the current autoresolve is way to harsh. It should be fixed to atleast be somewhat realistic. Autoresolve is in the game and it should be somewhat usable, at this point it isn't at all.

Go there for the specifics on how the auto resolve works.

As you can see, from how the system calculates it, you should never auto unless you have so many units that you dont care.

Auto resolve is an example of a broken system. Lots of people get bored of doing battles manually so they do auto resolve, but the devs decided to punish us for using it.

yes, I usually don't actually play a battle in most games that have autoresolve UNLESS I'm overpowered, overnumbered, want to pwn the enemy for fun, or early on when I don't want to lose that many units.

I modded the space auto resolve, so that auto resolve health matched the tactical health. Anyone up for testing it out? Careful though a lvl 5 station has 7000 tactical health, so expect to lose alot of stuff attacking those with auto resolve. Home 1 and mon cals are 8000, and ISDs are 7500. Im really looking for feed back on how the casulaties come out.

 

Click for files in .rar format.

 

Just put these in your data/xml folder. It will overwrite any other mods you have in there so put those files somewhere safe. Once i get space done i may move onto land if theres enough interest.

I am glad people agree with me. If you have ever played Rome: Total War you would know it has a great auto-resolve engine.

EAW/FOC autoresolve sucks.

This reminds me of a tip I figured out:

Never use auto resolve when the enemy fleet or yours has transports. It kills them first(usually yours). Even if you have two frigates and they have 3 SDs and several acclamators, kill their transports. That way, they can't invade when they defeat you, giving you time to bring in reinforcements.

Guys, try ot to post in older threads.

 

Especially with crap like this:
