this post is meant for no other purpose than to express my extreme satisfation with my last game... i -finally- completed my first attempt at a "large map" game, and after hours upon hours of back and forth with my adversaries, i finally won (via conquest) late last night...

Mobella sighs happily

that game must have stretched the entire week (i only have so many hours to play after the kids are in bed... you know how that is )...

i had zero CTD, and experienced no anomalies, other than a very late game bug where i could train veteran squads of grand barons (i think?) for 1 gildar, in 1 turn... i tried not to abuse that..... much.

i suppose a testament to any good game is the fact that after i finally bested my foes, after having invested so much time over the course of a week (and realizing it was 2am), was that i wanted to fire up a new game, and employ some different tactics!!

i know the current patch is giving people grief (im still on 1.07), but i felt a hearty kudos was in order... thanks Stardock!
