can there be a function where the player can decide in his profile to turn auto attack on/off....I hate auto-attack and just lost a game because of it for the 10th time. That way i wont be tempted to just hit auto-attack....pls pretty pls :)

I know how you feel - I use auto attack in, for example, 10v1 and then find half my armies have gone. Still, I appreciate it being there. Put a sticker across your screen if you can't cope! :lol:

would be a function where you could stop auto attack at a pre-determined number. say youre attacking 8 vs 3 you could set it to stop attacking when you drop below 5 armies rather than the usual 3. thatd be neat.

how does auto attack lose you a game? I'd really like to see that

No sfh, he clicks auto attack when he should be safer with his troops. then he loses too many troops and cant protect himself

Auto-attack should auto-stop when the attacker loses more than the opponents armies.

For example.
Auto-attack with 5 against 1. Auto-stop at 3.
Auto-attack with 5 against 2. Auto-stop at 2.
Auto-attack with 7 against 1. Auto-stop at 5.
Auto-attack with 7 against 2. Auto-stop at 4.
Auto-attack with 7 against 3. Auto-stop at 3.
Auto-attack with 10 against 1. Auto-stop at 8.
Auto-attack with 10 against 2. Auto-stop at 7.
Auto-attack with 10 against 3. Auto-stop at 6.
Auto-attack with 15 against 1. Auto-stop at 13.
Auto-attack with 15 against 2. Auto-stop at 12.
Auto-attack with 15 against 3. Auto-stop at 11.
etc.

So, in another words.
I Auto-attack with 17 against 3. Auto-stop at 13.
If I still want to Auto-attack with 13 against 3. Auto-stop at 9.
Gives the attacker the control of Auto-attack function usage.

have autoattacked before and lost 17 men to his 1.....also in a game terminator and escalating was nicely poisiotned to take out this guy and lost 19 armies to his 12. Left him with 3 only and gave the game to the opponent who only had 3 armies on his turn. My fault but its so easy.TOO easy to press that damn button!!

I overuse autoattack, and find myself very unhurt by it.

Ok. Here's the real deal. Keep the auto-attack for those that are happy with it.

For the proposal that I've mentioned a few posts earlier, named it as the smart-attack.
