A general inquiry about Dom 3 gaming habits.

I like a slow but steady approach. When you expand too quickly, you also collapse quickly, especially if you start near another player.

When I take a province, it will take great power to get it away from me.

I've been playing Dominions series for a long time now. I think I started with Conquest of Elysium II... Any way, I enjoy the games where I'm in a weak position the most. I like the challenge. Not necessarily the challenge of multiplayer games, but the games where I'm e.g. Mictlan (whose own troops are rather weak, with few exceptions) trying to quickly research Blood to get some summons that would keep me alive against the several AI nations coming my way in a map too small for all of us. As such, especially in SP I usually remember my few defeats better than my many wins. The games never get to the "I've won, now I just have to play the 50 turns to finish this".

Also, I'd like to use victory point condition in all my games so that the games are finished without me having to go and kill everyone everywhere, but that also means that the AI can only win by defeating me, as it doesn't value VP provinces enough.
