Battle Simulator ?

Not much slower and much more controllable, not to mention more realiztic

Still, including the simulator in the game would make life much simpler for most people (not everyone is as happy as you are changing their files, Gandalf).

And, letting one set all relevant variables (using an "advanced" button) would help, too. Would it really be that hard? I mean, the battle engine must access all that data to resolve battles, so it should be a minor pain to code...
