Marital breakdown

I advise applying some pressure as training exercise. There's nothing like some pressure to improve one's speed. Let's try being on fire. Wrap a towel around your head. Light 'er up. Now get your orders in. Try to do this before the towel burns through. As a side benefit, you'll also learn valuable survival skills for thinking under pressure.

rofl . very funny formulation hehe .

pressure might be a good idea .

if you have enough space ( 60 provinces are ) you could spread your mages on 5-10 different provinces .

e.g. :
all researchers left in capitol .
all highlevel forgers in one province.
all lvl 1 forgers / researchers in one province .

spread the clammules in some provinces.
make one key province where you send in all unequipped spies and when they have clams spread them in the provinces you chose for clamparking etc.

a side profit is that you won't loose that much when you spread on global artillery spells like flames from the sky like when you concentrate all in one province .
if you don't rename your leaders it is hard to tell to your opponent which mages are the forgers and which are the unimportant researchers .

in very late game when you can cast multiple domes then you could concentrate them in 2-3 provinces , in the best protected the good forgers / summoners and in 1-2 the clam horders etc.

hopefully dominions 3 has even more improved ui though .
i would love too a table where i can see the equipment of all my leaders .
that takes much time to look through 50 mages to figure out who has the dwarfen hammer for something special etc

but i think we get this with dominions 3 .
dominions 2 is already such a big improvement in ui compared to dominions 1

finally you could ask you what you prefer more in dominions : early game or late game ?
rushing or late game extreme battles with lots of scs , hordes of troops etc.

if you prefer early game etc. then the solution is really simple play no map greater than 100 provinces .

i myself like at the moment most games with about 10 players on a 200 province map like karan . this way you have a good mix of all
