well all this is frustrating, i've been battling like crazy to get some expansion points and naada/zilch zero, i have taken all areas far into iron age and can't get enough real estate to produce enough supplies to advance in research, enemy soldiers seem to march all over field in one move and i have soldiers with lead boots horses that die when you say 'boo' I'm being held back if this is the pace of this game, i think i may quit soon
