Agreed. Try not to give anything away of what I've played through.

I'm mainly playing ahead to get practice in battles and watch for technical problems as they develop.

Hence, I'm not actually doing any building or recruiting in the campaign as I'm playing independantly forward. Like I said I'm experimenting around the Bosperous at the moment only and I've had lots of fun battles. Including one I was absolutely, certain I would loose but managed to snatch a win somehow (it was wonderful play by the AI on the campaign map BTW).

....actually, I think I may double check the difficulty settings. Just to make sure its still on Medium battles *mutters to self* I really should have lost that battle *mutter*
