"How are you going to solve the problem of battles?"


The point is that the combat system is different from Heroes V to be more adapted to a web based MMO, but it's still be very strategic and challenging.
The battle will be automatically solved by a mathematic calculation once you click on the attack button. The result is announced when the combat is done; to know when, you just have to take a look at the timeline.
Nevertheless, the battle preparation will be crucial. A mistake can be fatal; even if your army seems to be stronger! A bad choice in your organization could lead to defeat.

I really love the way of the order castle. With gremlin, mage, genie and titans, I play 100% range. By casting genie & heroes spell to cast illusion of them to be the tanker forward, I can lose almost none of the real troops. I wonder how this strategy can be implement in this online game way of battle? I still dont quite understand the way the online way of battle. Thank you
