Picking up my old iOS copy and, it actually got better with age.
Back when I ran this on its original build, I meticulously moved all of my units. Spent literal days grinding and micromanaging my party.
Now? I’ve learned how the AI works, and I’m building a party to see how far I can take autoplay.
Under manual control, everyone was a healer with Raise. Under AI control, everyone is instead a DPS, with the ability to end encounters in under three rounds.

The AI sees _way_ more creative solutions to damage and crowd control than I do, but it can easily get caught in loops with the wrong strategy (ie, units hiding in a corner healing themselves forever).
There are also a few skills the AI will _always_ go for (ie, how it considers skills involving the charm status) that I had to prevent units from learning entirely.
Building around that has been an interesting challenge.

tl;dr: I’ve learned to greatly appreciate robot wars as a genre of videogame.
