Hi folks,

On Sirrvs 's original point, all moves are actually taken simultaneously; what you do on your turn is lay down orders for your moves. The comp doesn't actually move after you, so its perceived advantage isn't real.

Actually, word is (from a answer from one of the CA devs ages ago) that the comp does peek at you moves but "doesn't make use of that information". Now, take from that what you wish . It does seem to me that sometimes the comp really does look like it cheated, but sometimes it does something really dumb instead, so I think any effects even out over time.

Cheers,
Ulair
