Options to speed up combat?

[Munch10]

Hi all,

Just got the demo and loved it. Brings back memories of HOMM 2 (before the whole 'your hero fights 2 thing').

One thing that did bother me a bit is that after a while I didn't care as much about some of the battles, but I can't find a way to speed things up. Auto combat helps so I can step away, but is there a way/will there be a way in the full game to increase the speed of the automation in the battles so they don't take so long?

Thanks,

Munch

yeah i also have the same complain, and there should also be some instant battle resolve feature so that we do not need to fight very easy fights

Options --> Combat animation speed --> High

Quoted for truth.

Looks like I'm not the only one who couldn't see that option at first.

I did that and the battles still take a long time. Maybe it will be different in retail version?

Just thought it's worth its own thread to point out to everyone.

There is an option to speed up combat animation speed, just that it's a dropdown hidden among very technical graphics options, so it's really easy to overlook.

Let me clarify this a bit.

Hm... Played with combat speed on maximum, but always wanted a "no animation" option... too many similar fight on later stages.

I started to get bored with some of the fights in Kordor. They take too long, and once you've developed your winning strategy there's no thinking involved.

But if you let the computer do autocombat, my goodness! The computer AI is shite. No wonder I'm powering through the game on Hard.
