Terrible Player.

[Iry]

I just borrowed this game from a friend to give it a try and see if it is worth buying. The game is very interesting and seems to possess more depth than I can currently imagine.

Which is precisely the problem. I'm apparently terrible at this game. I've put about 40 hours into this game so far and I only seem to manage to win when I use good scales, leverage massive armies, and jack up PD to 125 in every single front-line province. It's a horribly slow march that involves thousands of clicks on recruit able units and I'm not very happy with that.

I have no clue how to make freshly recruited units automatically go to a different province. I have no clue how to make the spell system really work in my favor. I seem to have terrible luck doing any kind of site-searching and just wait for Akashic Records. And, most importantly, I have absolutely no clue how to stop the massively aggressive computer AI that throws hundreds and hundreds of units at me WITHOUT having a big army and PD 125.

Any help or suggestions?
