Perhaps we need more community games..comparisons of how we each did in the same situation..races to complete a set task etc. We are then playing the game solo and also competing against others.
I agree. Back with MTW/VI we ran a lot of challenges and games to complete certain goals like "who can get the French to capture the crusader targets the fastest". I do belive I stilöl hold that record. I also remember that Katank was a really cunning blitz specialist, sorry he´s not around with RTW.

One fun challenge is to turn Ptolemies, Pontos, Pahlav, Hai, Bactria and Yehuzi into protectorates as ArcheSeleukeia in an EB game. I always try this but have only managed to get three of the above. I also like to play the Romans as close to real history as possible so I expand accordingly and I gives the AI ample of time to pose a serious threat.... mmm, yummy!
