Will I fall hopelessly behind if I'm not growing my armies every turn?
In solo games of Dom3, efficiently isn't as critical, because the AI nations aren't nearly as strong opponents as you'll face in multiplayer. One of the strengths of the game design is that there isn't one "best" route to victory. Solo games are especially good for experimenting with strategies that you aren't ready to commit to against human opponents.
