Re: Newb+Multiplayer.
1.Attacking someone with no warning is fine so long as you don't have a treaty.
2.Anwhere from 15 (few victory points, tiny map) to 200+(faerun sized map) turns depending on map size. Optimum seems to be 40-90.
3. Not really, other than dom II.
4. Some, but Zen's balance mods address a lot of these. One that is important is to focus on research (and take a magic scale).
5. Man is good because of longbows and cheap sacred mages. The downside is so much capital only stuff, to do well stay on small maps.
6. Either, neither, or both. Personally, I like games to be about trying interesting strategies.
