Thanks for your tips Nobunaga. Yea I still have to try it on expert. I'm just such a big "fan" of the english wars vs Wales and Scotland, and vs France, I was a little disapointed in that arena. Yea I'll have to "broaden" out my horizons to other civs too. I think a patch would be great but an expansion would make this game a real gem. P.S. how do you cut and paste comments, I'm new here and not too smart!
