I can understand the reason behind the post. Some encounters are way too hard at some point, and if you're lucky, you'll be able to fight 3 encounters a day before your whole army is whiped out. This causes some players to not fight anymore at all, cause it takes too long to clear a single province, and simply negotiating your way out is often faster. Since there is an option to use diamonds after a battle to restore troop losses, i don't think a retry option is going to happen, and it's not something i would like to see either. I'd rather see an increase in troop strenght, or change the bonus stats on them. axe barbarian II has a 40% bonus against heavy melee, but the knights i have to fight have a 60% bonus against light melee, so i need 2/3 squads of axe barbarians to take out 1 squad of 40 knights. At some point, when you get to the 7th or 8th ring, fighting will become impossible as your enemies become stronger and stronger. Increasing your squad size will no longer matter. I'd also like to either see an increase in squads i can take to battle, or a decrease in what the enemy can bring to the battlefield. 5 squads vs 8 squads isn't exactly fair, even though their numbers per squad are lower than mine, they do get the chance to hit me more often than i can hit them, and even a squad of 40 bandits can kill a whole squad of my archers.
