Good idea, I second this motion.

Maybe we could have a box under the 'Assault' button in which you can input a number...
Obviously it would need to be safe-coded so you can't roll more times than you have troops to be lost.

I think this could work. It'd be great for City Mogul.

Or maybe go a step further and say "auto-assault until x", where x is how many troops you have left over.

You can? Since when?

its not availiable for the common non scripted used still using internet explorer. (you know thats still the majority of users?)

Still, I'd love to see this button, or a way to set an amount of attacks.

suggestion,
cant the attack butten be like the fortification button? you auto fort with all units, but you can fort with less?!?
So attack (number of troops availiable/choise) press button, done!

Auto-Assault Limits is on the To-Do list, and I think would cover this...

just make it all possible with 1 click.

I'd be very keen to see some kind of limited auto attack. My personal preference would be to just have a '10' option (ie no need for 5 army attacks) as a nice intermediate between singles and the current all-or-nothing auto attack, which I'm sometimes reluctant to use.

That would be great!

There is a third alternative. Replace the "Auto Attack" button with a drop down list to specify the number of times to attack. The default number would be 1 which would be set when a territory to attack is selected. The max would be 99 which is the same as "to the death". To prevent culture shock (and the inevitable onslaught of complaints) you could leave the "auto attack" button in place.

Speaking for myself I would prefer the method proposed by Cicero. A drop down list would specify to auto attack until I win or I have x number of troops remaining.

Can you clarify? I have clickies and I can't do that...

by **Incandenza** on Thu Dec 31, 2009 9:57 pm

If you right-click on the terit you're attacking, you'll get a window asking for a minimum # of armies you'd like to have left.

Since I don't want to clutter the interface, what about getting rid of the Auto-Attack button and instead having optional checkboxes below the attack button:

Auto-Attack [] x5 [] x10 [] until 3 attackers

I like this, but there are certain game types where it would also be great to have the option to attack until the defender is down to 2 also. Please incorporate limits for attacker and defender. I have posted this in every topic I've found on auto limits, limits on how many you want to get the defender down to would be great too. I can explain reasoning if its not clear.
