No offense to those who wants the auto resolve auto win function but that is literally one of the most dumb thing a gamer would want. Not only does the auto resolve meter is affected by a lot of factors but a lot of those can be alleviated by playing the game right. You can chose the right army composition. Research tech and upgrade drillmaster on lords to get that thing that increases chevrons for units. Having rank 5 to 7 units on recruit helps scale those. Build walls on settlements and such. You are already cheating the game why remove the fun in it.
Well, you write a whole bunch of contradictory nonsense. Why cheat in the first place if all you have to do is "play the game right", eh?

Again, it's not a matter of wanting a win auto-calc because of difficulty or anything. It's more so as not to lose troops on pointless battles. When your super huge army has to sweep aside a dozen small armies (a lord and 3-5 units) that have no chance of beating you, but the auto-calc will sometimes make your army implode for no reason against them (like having half your ranged units die for no reason in such a battle).
That has been the iteration since Rome Total War (The first one) that auto calc is unreliable or reliable depending if you are looking at unit stats when you hover on the unit. The game simply forces you to play the battle which is why it's named Total War? You basically play all aspects of war. If half of your units are dying you are simply playing the game wrong. It's a mix and match thing. So your solution is to make the game a clicking strategy simulator instead of a fantasy battle simulator.
The game also forces economy on you, which you can alleviate by having a minimum gold cheat. Which we all have, btw. Oh, but it's not named Total Economy. It's named Total War. And because of its name, certain mods or cheats are cockeyed.. wtf man?? So if someones called Jesus we can string him up and kill him for our sins? Ridiculous.
Right now, you can literally run around with just a hero unit, killing off full army stacks by the dozen. Because you have god mode. But that's fine, since you're "playing the game right", taking care of "all aspects of war". Sure. You wanna get rid of a small, annoying army? Better use your save editor to get a full stack of 40 top-tier max-exp units. Cause the real "gamers", as Anglican pointed out, consider an easier option right then and there in their cheat table "the most dumb thing". I'll just assume you didn't know that 'dumb' is an adjective, and it's superlative is 'dumbest', but w/e. im done here.
