Welcome to the Org, Amok Always nice to see creative thinking, though I think a previous poster has a point in that the release date is close enough that CA is likely in test and polish mode (I should hope so, anyway!).

Were it that the AI were a bit more sophisticated: those small raiding parties, particularly when used frequently, several at a time, can really be distracting, and can draw attention away from the real objective. In chess (years ago), one of the things I liked to do was to try and focus my opponent's attention on my pieces mid-field or on his side of the board, and then move a piece there in a seemingly threatening fashion. If I was successful, my opponent missed the fact that moving that piece had opened a pathway from way back that allowed a seemingly dormant rook, bishop or queen to sweep across the board and capture a valuable piece without consequence. The move up front was just a feint or sacrifice; moving it enabled the real attack and kept the attention of my opponent where I wanted it.
