Once they fix it, then I'll call it not a cheat, but an advantage. Regarding the 2 battles – this is not insignificant, but a fact; serious battles don't happen that often. Have you never had situations in Warlords where, in the first week, you defeat groups of Kolpakovs, Elves, etc., in autobattle without losing any archers on your side, even though you wouldn't be able to repeat that 100% manually?
I don't play Warlords. When all this is fixed, it will be not even an advantage, but just a feature, like fast troop transfer. As for the morale triggering in autobattle and the units immediately running to the archers, this is a very small probability (morale triggered + the unit is fast enough to reach them + the hero doesn't have decent magic), so you can consider it a feature.
