[Twan]

I never play to the end on big maps, usually I stop when I reach 60-80 provinces and I've far more of all things than AIs (may be long anyway with the boosted AIs I use).

To have the occasion to test more spells I played a lot with the High Guild mod in the beginning, and more recently made the Forbidden Knowledge one (never had the patience of playing dozens of turn with an already strong position to empower from scratch some mages in all paths, so I prefer to emulate Dom2 magical diversity for my SP games).
