Maybe it's my settings (Epic speed, small map, monsters as hard as the AI), but I've never even seen this mythical Stack of Doom you all are talking about. I WISH the AI could put together a stack of doom. Seems usually their sovereign is just wandering around with another hero or a single trained unit.

Tuidjy, can you explain what good City Growth is, anyway? Your section explains the mechanics very well, but one thing I still haven't really figured out is why I should care.

Such as: How exactly do Trade Treaties work? They're handy for insta-creating a road network, especially useful if I haven't researched Trade yet, but... am I getting money out of this? How much? Do I need to worry about all those caravans running around, and do I only get money
