Hi!

1) There are no limits to your army size per se, but there are sort of practical limits. There's also a global limit on the number of units, but I don't think you were asking about that. That limit doesn't effect small games at all, it's just a limit for those monster maps.

Anyway, you can have as big an army as you can afford in terms of upkeep (every unit you buy with gold has upkeep in gold per turn, although summoned units usually don't have any upkeep). Also, your army has to be able to eat, so having too many soliders in one place is also difficult for that reason.

2) No, there's no turn limit. But, games don't normally last more than 100 turns or so, many are over by turn 60-70. Of course this depends on map size and conditions. This isn't one of those games that last 300 turns or anything. Which I definitely like about it. It has deep strategy, but is usually managable in terms of micromanagement and time commitment.

3) (I am assuming you are talking about multiplayer here) I like taking a turn a day or so. Some games have 48 or 72 hour turn times, but other people play blitz games that are over in maybe 5 hours. As far as single player, you can normally finish a game in 2-4 sittings or so. I mean assuming you play more than like 30 min a sitting.

4) The AI as far as being an actual enemy player pretty much sucks. There are just too many options and the computer can't keep up with human strategies. But, I am very impressed with the combat AI relative to dominions 2. In dominions 2, the computer chose all kinds of funky spells and targets for you, very suboptimal. But it seems that a lot of work has been done getting the targeting right during battles, and because of the lack of tactical combat control by players, that's very important.
