you can play all the SP in the world, it doesn't measure up one whit to one MP game. The only way to get better is to play MP games. Two MP games is just a very stark beginning. You still have a lot to learn, and a lot of oppurtunity to learn. The only way to get better is to play more MP. There you get to see how other players play, what strategies they use, and how to deal with another living breathing player controlling your foe rather than the AI.

Try using a different nation each MP game you play, get a wide base of understanding of many nations and many strategies. If you specialize in 'your' nation, it only keeps you from knowing about and being able to anticipate and counter other nations strategies. The AI will basically play all nations the same, in haphazard random fashion, with random armies wandering in random directions. In MP each nation has a specific set of strategies it is likely to use. YOu must play much MP and you must play many nations in order to get better, it is the only way.
