defence set up

You can't. No news of whether they would implement something like that. Some people did bring it up in General Discussions as a suggestion. But no official response came.

But right before game went global release, we saw a huge improvement to AI.

And not long ago (a few weeks), even offensive in PVP was NOT manual but auto combat (We were so frustrated watching our own units screw up, our hairs turned grey).

sweet, yea that be excellent being able to set your battle groups up on tabs, also hope they hurry up and allow device transfers, I want to get a new phone (droid) and im on ios and spent a few bucks already and its ridiculous a app locks me into a device

So do we know who is taken into battle, how it's actually utilized? Anyone with two phones and accounts tested it maybe, or are we just assuming it takes your most powerful characters
