I am having a difficulty understanding how Auto-battle works, or maybe, why it works the way it does.  They don't seem to take in things like units range at all.  My archers are always getting slaughtered in auto-battle.  So, they don't actually fight out the battles?  It almost is like they fight the same way spaceships in GalCiv do.  They take turns shooting at each others most vulnerable units, with no regard for other battlefield situations like range.  

It seems kind of half ass.  I would prefer something more like Dom3 for the Auto-battles.  Let me place my soldiers and give them a few tactics set up ahead of time.  Right now my archers are getting hit or killed when it should be impossible.
