Splooger,
thx (I guess

), but with less than 10 SP games under my belt (non of them played till the end) and no MP-games and with the new things I am learning on these forums every day, calling myself anything but a noob would be crazy.
But I think that playing strategy-games for about 20 years (pc & boardgames) is helping with some basics.
Btw, what are the points which make you consider me anything but a beginner ?
E.g. from what I have read on these forums I consider my rate of expansion to be way to slow to survive in any kind of competetive environment.
