SP Home Rules

[JimMorrison]

I still don't understand how people play on Impossible, and then handicap themselves.

I play with all Mighty, and on maps meant for MP (relatively few chokepoints), and unless I am playing a nation that is meant to revolve around huge numbers of cheap mundane troops, the AI looks at my Army Size, and they all declare war at me, coming from all directions, and swamping my little empire.

Maybe on Impossible, I will not outgrow them so fast at first, so I won't be sprawling out, with borders with so many nations, and such a low troop/province ratio? I'm just mystified that everyone claims Impossible is too easy - it's all plenty easy, until I end up the focal point of a cheap p0rno for the AI's pleasure.

So for me, I handicap myself by playing like it's MP, and getting mauled by the entire world at once.
