	I _like_ fighting against superior forces. 

Actualy that's not entirly true. When the enemy begins the game 
with a larger potential, it adds a real sence of urgency. Like dune 2 
final level, the only way I could win was to send everyone to destroy the 
death hands. The whole manuver always has a sence of urgency, because the 
situation is make or break.

	In playing games like warcraft dune etc. starting out with the 
same amount of stuff is borring. Of cource I'm smarter than the computer. 
Of cource I'll destroy the village in short order.

	I like fighting against the superior odds because 
fighting against superior odds is what makes a protagonist a hero!
