Okay, reading what I wrote the following comes off as too negative, that's not meant so badly. I'm just not able to rephrase. A game nice to have, and as the situation currently stand noobs can either learn new tricks or kill me by exhaustion (which isn't fun).

You mean Ulm? I could march onto his capital with my closest army as it is and there isn't anything he's currently fielding against me that could stop me. I'm not that hot on rushing though as all the castles take a while to breach, and Ulm's troops don't take kindly to raiders.
I don't have that much trouble with 150% everything as I played Midgård in Preponderance with similar settings. Though I agree with TheDemon, this game has little resemblance to usual games. The charm of Dominions (according to my preferences) is finding solutions to changing problems with limited resources. Not just flooding people with More Of The Same.
As to this game being too much Team game, I must disagree. The setup made this into a series of 2-against-1s with some weak interaction. For an actual team game the placement should've been so that there would be at least some chance to cover your teammate. But, with the demands of 1/2 distribution and that every noob gets a straight route to fight that was pretty much impossible.
And, the map is a bit big to conquer on my own and so on, so I might stop complaining.
