I experience the same thing. I unknowingly created a similar ticket in the Discussion & Suggestion forum about it. 

I was able to verify that doing autoresolve gets around the issue, if you must play war of the ring. It's just not as enjoyable. I like the thrill of overtaking a fortress, and I like having more control over the outcome.

I'm really grateful that you responded so promptly. Thanks so much.

By the way, I adjusted the handicap settings and actually got something that I enjoy. I had just tried Age of Rings for the first time the day before, and I've never tinkered with handicap before.

Humorously, the first time I tried adjusting the handicap, I put it on myself, thinking it was like golf. Instead, it got even harder, LOL. So, then I applied it to the enemies, and it really resolved my issues.

I jumped the gun with my request. Please forgive me if it all seemed like I was diminishing the fantastic job you have done. Also, thank you for taking the request to heart. 

I hope you have a great day.
