And even that is not all. I thought I have figured him out so when 1 of his provinces borders 2 of mine and I have army in one of them while other is undefended (only local force), I would move that army to undefended province and intercept his attack. But noooo! Now he attacks BOTH of my provinces with just enough troops to take down one of them if only my local force is defending. I�ve lost lots of provinces nearly by surprise (more like shock) that way.

Basically AI is teaching ME how to play.

OMG! I WANT TO PLAY DOMINIONS II. NOW!

Well, the Dom II AI only proves that Scandinavian people are evil. Or sadistic. Or both. Or neither.

But seriously, sounds very good.

The only time I've noticed a problem with the enemy supply situation is when I've got them boxed in with superior forces. Then, they'll often grow and shrink as they try and deal with supplies. Given a normal amount of room, or a less than overwhelming force bottling them up, they seem to deal with it OK. I haven't studied it though, so I'll keep a closer eye on that.

I'll watch their usage of warding spells more closely, but they seem to be quite willing to guard themselves. They lay a lot of protection spells of various kinds about, although not anything that wouldn't actually come into play. (i.e. no anti-missile spells if the opposition has no ranged troops!) I think they actually tend to use more defensive than offensive spells, but that's something I'd have to analyze more closely before being 100% sure.
