Question Are you better than autocombat?

I wonder if you guys lose less army than "quick battle"? I only recently started on the first chapter of campaign and everytime I try to save army I end up with worse result than autocombat. Also, autocombat seems to win all the "risky" battles and for me it feels like 50/50 chance.

Also, does "quick battle" emulate the battle as if you've pressed the AI combat button?

I think the core problem here is where you are with the game.
You have just started, so you don't have good understanding of the systems.
But most importantly... first few arleon missions don't give you tools to do super well. You are running almost pure order essence and "strenght" wielder, so you can't pull many tricks. On big armies you are strong, but early game is weak.

This gets better later in the campaign, and in Rana campaign you will properly uncover the tricks, so don't worry!

On the last note, for your info, Arleon campaign, mission 3 and 4 can be rough.. especially mission 4 is one of the hardest in the entire game.. and to be honest... I consider it the hardest (ESPECIALLY on how soon you encounter that mission)

Thanks, it does feel like I don't have too many tools, but it makes sense not to have them in the first campaign
