Roty, one more question: on medium or small maps, like "Greed" or "Neutral Lands," and even on "Strategy" difficulty, do you play as Grom or choose "Divide and Conquer"? I rarely see a situation where players 3 and 6 (both human players, not the AI) meet in the final on week 3. Unless it's an extreme machine rush, and even then, it's not certain that the neutral creatures guarding the passages will be Undead or Ents, and you can avoid significant losses. Plus, there's a considerable distance to cover, which carries a risk. What if the opponent hangs around the castle and can put up a fight? It's a matter of personal preference. Usually, on weeks 5-6 (and if both players want more development), the game lasts even longer.
