The troops themselves are required to be trained in the barracks. You can choose to wait the training time or skip the wait by using Speed ups or Gems. We would also recommend equipping unique skill cards to your Generals in order to boost their power level. The battles themselves are fully automated, with you having no control over their movement or their abilities. Do not worry, in the early game, your enemies will be super weak and you will be given lots of opportunities to power up. Keep following the main quests and get stronger over time by upgrading your city as well as Generals.
