Now and then, I use the Silent Seas (no wrapabout) map for a quick head on collision with 3 Medium Random AI factions without much magic consideration (save for quick level 2 rush of Construction and evocation for combat blastage)

I see many people talking about massive scale magic R&D and SC equipping bonanza. Do you play huge maps? Doesn't it take too much time and clicks? There are so many multi sphere spells and artifacts that it takes ages to develop them. I think a well built human wave rush to the other dude's keep is far more fulfilling(finding a Lion tribe is a forest-mountain province is orgasmic), but then this may be due to my love of large scale fighting. Though I love how many spells blast away an army, but in small maps, it is not worth developing Wish or Star Focus spell, much less gather the skill and pearls for it.

So, what floats your boats?
