Hello,
since the latest Patch (1.7?), I had the feeling, that results in autocombat were odd (in a different way than before, when some abilities seemed
to not being used), as I often got defeated by for example fire shrills that I could defeat by battling them manually.
For example I began a battle against two fire- and one earth shrill and let the computer autoresolve it after i recognized, I would be losing too
much units.
After that I got deafeted and looked at the "Details"-Screen of the combat and saw, that the ability of the Fire Shrills ,in autocombat, did
multiple times the Damage it is supposed to do (see below)

As I play with mods, I also started a new game without mods and discovered, that the same is true for the "Barbs"-ability of the Troll Shaman
(see below) ...

Is this supposed to happen and was it always this way or was that introduced with the latest patch?
Thanks in advance for answers (I hope my English is understandable... ).
Remark:
Without having tested it I believe the above applies to all abilities, that do damage.
If this was true, it would explain why sometimes I see the AI defeat monsters (that should be too strong to being defeated) with a single hero
(which I always thougth strange... ).
