But how can you not attack simultaneously? Here, there are ten Phoenixes, waiting for the gnomes to attack them, and only then do they respond? :) It's absurd, isn't it? We stand there on the battlefield, watching as a crowd runs up to us, attacks, and only then do we decide to respond – we play the most fair game, until we are provoked, we won't attack. :)

No, but are they hitting at the same time? :)

The third game is more well-thought-out as a game; it's easier to predict its further development. The fourth game has its own quirks, for example, the number of enemies increases 4.5 times depending on the difficulty level, compared to 2 times in the third game, which sometimes slows down the start very much. But this is more of an imbalance than a flaw. Imagine a real situation - cavalry attacks infantry, and they form a tight formation and raise spears - some of the cavalry will cut down the infantry, and some will be impaled on the spears - that's simultaneous attack!

I think we're not talking about the moment of the attack. In any war, they won't wait for the opponent to deal half damage to a unit or even kill it with one blow. The first strike, as a property, looks better. In itself, it is a powerful tool in combat.

cavalry and pikemen... another example - in a duel, 2 archers simultaneously draw their pistols and shoot each other to death. And if one is faster, it means "first strike." You don't need to understand this, just accept it as a fact - then after some time you will understand how to avoid this (simultaneous strike).

... And they did the right thing! ... .

What's there to understand? Two stacks converge in an attack (or rather, one attacks the other). All regular creatures, as creatures, clash swords and strike each other.

Yes, they introduced simultaneous attacks to add more tactics to the battle!

It's so accurate that this is absent in the subsequent installments.

It's so right that it's absent in the subsequent parts.

Yes, with a flag wave "one, two, three," they probably rehearsed at home with each other.

What kind of tactics are we talking about if they die like flies from this?

... This highlights your exceptional ability to command troops. ...

If you really want to, you can figure everything out and learn anything, as long as you don't consider yourself the pinnacle of perfection (and everyone else, of course, to be idiots).

This is by no means an indicator. The 5th and 6th installments are aimed at the masses, and for the most part, they are immature and foolish. Is 4 resources really an expansion of tactics? O_o
.

This characterizes only your ability to manage troops. Although, in essence, in the 3rd installment, for example, tactics such as "removing" the response with a left or "sacrificial" unit, or even with single units, are also used. So, you don't need to come up with anything radically new. You just didn't need to remove the response as often before.

But in any case, it's not about realism, but about new variations of tactics.
