I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find a recent thread on it. Feel free to close if it has been addressed.



First I'll say I play single player only so maybe for MP this doesn't make sense but I think this is really needed in single player.



When confronted with several battles at once we need to be able to fight each battle manually.



Main reason is especially if you have several close battles being able to play the battle cards can swing it in your favor. Right now you only get to fight one battle manually while the others go auto. We just need to be able to do them all manually if we choose. It could simply queue them up one at a time. Once one ends then pop up the next battle and you have to choose auto vs. manual.

I do believe when entering into a battle you stop or possibly reset the timers for other battles. but i may be wrong.

You are wrong unfortunately. What happens; at least to me; is that I exit the battle and not too long after the auto/manual dialog pops but I cannot make a choice. That or I have two to three battle icons on the right suddenly.



I would prefer to not have to fight all the battles manually, but auto combat works oddly.

Darn!



But I agree, the auto combat isn't auto lose like most games.

I know this last thread is long, but it worth the read...

And just to be clear, I'm not advocating changing the way combat works. But when 3 or 4 battles pop-up at the same time we currently can only fight one of them manually, the others will go auto no matter what. We just need it changed so that we have the *choice* on all the battles to go auto or manual.
