Quick battle, how dows it work?

[Ivar]

I like this game, but I find it a little bit too slow, so I prefer the "quick battle mode". I've a doubt: in this mode, does it really consider the type of army or it's ever best using all eagual armies if they're the strongest type avaible? So, is it better defend a city with wall using bowmen or is it better using cavallery that's "stronger". Last question: in the manual are explained these things?

I wonder about this too. How much does things like Dread (lower enemy morale) actually influence the quick combat??

This silence is quite explicative... I suppose that in "quick battle mode" it considers only the stats. Is it true?

I don't like the fighting that much, i just let it do quick battle usually.. But i have no idea how it works...Also does the order in which your army is set in the 9 boxes make any difference? If yes, how can you change it without moving them back and forth...
