Haven't tried Multiplayer at present because i just started playing but why isn't there any tactical battle from the start in MP?.
Auto deternmined combat is something that killed many games for me that had such.
I'm primarily the Multiplayer gamer who loves to sit down with friends and battle eachother or against the AI.
Auto resolving battle is a non existing battle imho..special in games where it's part of the core game.
I wouldn't mind watching a battle that one of my friends is having or being able to join in the same battle if i get there in the same turn. Would be interessting if the AI would also be able to join forces.
