Otherwise, no hope for such epic battles?
In fact, I played a custom battle with 10.000.000.000+ money to see what a Roman enemy would bring against me. Well, the losses were 11:2, and the backbone of my army wasn't even touched.

You know, I like the whole concept, the aura of the game, which is brilliant, but the game itself is too easy. I haven't even been so far assaulted in a siege, which is something, since half of the factions are in war with me. Hm.

As close we are getting to how things really work in PC games, the esier it is for the human mind to outbest the AI.
