wow :-)

This helps players with slow connections. I like it. 
Its a big step against clientsidescripting, and would help the AI too. 

And perhaps it should be configurablei.

a = chance to win 
b = value of attacking unit
c = value of attacked unit

And if d = a*c/b bigger than a tuned value -> autoattack.
