Posts from How to effectively use quick battles (autobattles)? Auto-translated

Because they nerfed this cheat...

I wouldn't call it a cheat – it still requires skill to win, but you need a decent starting advantage and a hero with stats like 2222 (+blessing-healing), only for the first 2-3 hives, and it depends heavily on the situation, so it's better to test it in a simulator first.

I wouldn't call it a cheat.

So, the Hydra attacks everyone simultaneously in auto-battle? Of course, it's not a cheat, not at all.

It can also be won manually.

2+2=4 and (50/5*100-800)/50 = 4, the results are the same, but the process is completely different.

For some reason, I can't collect the relic (60) with a hero who has 0/0 and 1 Hydra. What am I doing wrong?

In general, this is quite an exploit, so it has been fixed. If it's really critical, disable HD+, as it contains all the features of the original SOD.

Storming a castle with a small army is sometimes successful. Without a quick battle, it's impossible; you won't be able to force them out. It seems that in quick battles, waits/defenses are disabled even for the garrison. And sometimes, an almost winning battle is lost, but with the enemy's supply cart destroyed. The AI is what it is.
