I read your posts and remembered one trick I figured out in Heroes.
For example, if you have 3 silver and need 10, I would do this: I would send 3 silver to the computer, so I would have 0 left. Then, on his turn, he would send me silver, and not just 3.
I'll say this: if he doesn't have that resource himself, the silver will just be wasted there.
