ok, so trade will be ruined . . . but I want to fight all the factions, and sack the largest cities, enslave or execute, train a few units, then move to the next city in that area . . . with the same army, depleated outnumbered and against the odds, small armies can defeat larger ones, and they will fight until they are no more

i still consider this campaign as a learning curve, i've read many posts where 'beter armies than Guals' were not expected. Now I can defeat any Gual army, with the same strategy . . . so its time to move on . . . and face other factions and learn more the map by the travels . . .

I also discouvered that the only way out of economic stagnation is to fight . . . when you lose men, you pay less for those units . . .
