Little things to be sure, but get enough little things right and they make a big thing

As to best SP game... well alot depends on what you are looking for. Certain settings handicap either the player or the AI (as GP pointed out), and setting up 'themed' games, like one human race aginst all the nonhuman races (or vice versa) can be entertaining from a RP point of view. I usually don't play with Ermor active though, since the other AIs just can't seem to handle them, and if I don't start close to them to keep them in check, they tend to just overrun the rest of the map. That can be fun to play against too, but it also gets a bit repetative.

I agree. The more I play, the better I start play. Which leads to me being in the driver's seat more and more late in the game. Which means there is a ton of crap to do every turn.

I *really* wish there was a goto command that worked within contiguous friendly provinces. Its such a huge pain the *** to try and direct stacks that move 1 province per turn from far off.

Auto-building temples would also be cool, as would auto-searching. Auto dumping blood slaves would also be nice, why isnt that done?
