Why are skeletons so wimpy?

October 7, 2014 2:05:51 AM from Sorcerer King ForumsSorcerer King Forums

 I was carelessly moving a pioneer around when it got attacked by an army of skeletons. So, I put it on auto battle to end the inevitable. To my surprise, I won the fight and my pioneer lived. Feeling emboldened, I sent out single low level units and proceeded to clear out deserted graveyards and several armies of skeletons using auto battle without receiving as much as a scratch. 

 So, I am not sure if this is a bug or if skeletons are just massively underpowered.

skeletons ruined my stack early game. I think it's the auto resolve, not the skeletons themselves.

Auto resolve is a total disaster ...

I send my hero alone and by auto resolve he wins all battle with no scratch - even battle i have no chance of winning otherwise ... I do not know why they yet not implemented real simulation as every other major competition already has (Endless, Eador, World of magic, Age 3) ... Not to mention you still cannot choose not to use mana etc.

So easy to abuse it is no fun.

Having autocombat use a different rule set than tactical combat seems wrong. I agree with above - should set it up so that it quickly runs an AI vs AI tac combat instead.

I agree.  I know a lot of people would be tired of comparisons with AoW3 by now , but that's how AoW3 autocombat works.

EDIT: Already mentioned I know, but the fact that other comparison titles already have this, it's important.  Especially with Sorceror King's SP focus.
