I do not ask for make it easier.
An AI or a good player cannot do anything to avoid complete defeat in very few turns.
But it is very simple in Dom3 to survive with very few troops, hero, thug, with stealth and the efficiency of avoiding moves (I can easily imagine that because I have taken much advantage of it against Arnob).
And I am not experienced and talented enough to finish a nation which DO want to survive. I do not know how to catch a stealthed powerful thug who is going to appear anywhere.
I only want my nerves staying alive, that is all. Althought Arnob has already admitted he has lost, he can make my game a nightmare with almost nothing left, I am afraid that would be easy.
Anyway, you probably know what I mean.
Maybe I am wrong, maybe it is impossible to stay alive with one province and a commander, but I am scared by the words "how many turns I can survive ?".
