I played and won my first game of SINS!  I ran through the first two tutorials before diving into my first game. 

I have a very very low "Twitch Factor (TF)" rating.  Therefore, I pickd the smallest map and easiest AI with Pirates turned ON.  I had a couple of close calls, but I finally stumbled into a victory after almost 6h (time was flying by...sign of a good game! imho,ymmv)! haha

The game has a lot of depth - I feel like I am just scratching the surface. 

Congrats to IronClad for a fun game!

Hopefully, I can find some players online for some human coop vs. AI battles in the future!
