Hi. First off, outstanding game. I have been playing for about 5 hours on my first game and I am having a blast with it. I still don't know everything, but it is all coming together. 
Second, I had a meteor storm event strike down in my lands. It spawned a few monsters in the area that I took care of right away. What I'm confused about is burning tiles all over the place. It happened about 30 turns in and I'm probably well over 100 now and the same tiles are still burning. Is this a glitch or is there some way to clean up these fires? One such fire is occurring on a mine that I can't build as it gets destroyed right away due to the flames.
Anyway, just wondering.
Oh, and one other question. Why does the focus of ending a turn go to an army that's stationary on the map? I have an army camping out at the bottom of the map, but the AI's borders so they keep watch, but my other army is cleaning areas up north. Every time I end a turn, the focus jumps down to the army in the south and I have to constantly go back to the top of the map. Is there anyway to remove that focus on the army in the south?
Thanks,
Brian
