Please excuse me for butting into your conversation... I'm playing the demo (tutorial and a few games on my own...) , and I have a few questions to ask. Of course I have a ton, in fact, and I know that I'm quite likely to come round and buy the full game soon - juicy 300 pages maual and all - unpleasant as I find not being able to get it at a a physical place [well, 56 and still playing games, here - small eccentricities are my cup of tea :-)]; and I know that with patience and luck I might be able to find some answer, at least, in forums and other on-line resources; but these few ones are bothering me right now... Answers would really be appreciated. And GP, after all, is *the* Propet - or at least a very good spreader of the word... 1) What are the standard victory conditions? In other words, what is my final goal? Killing all other pretenders? (but then, some of them seem to be immortal!) Spreading my dominion to all provinces (and maybe reach a given minimun level on each) of the map ? Or what? 2) Is there, at least for the sake of learning & experimenting, a way to go back to a previous situation and try something different? - apart from exiting the game, making a copy of the savegame somewhere else and copying it onto the current one when needed - which is a littlebit, let me say, clumsy? As it is, a single wrong click (say, on "end turn") may be enough to dash all hopes to see how viable a whole set of choices is. 3) Is there a way, for learning purposes, to eliminate random events (or at least the big ones, such as having a pivotal province invaded by unstoppable indipendent heroes out of nowhere)? I may agree that a main part of strategy is the art of turning the unexpected to your advantage, but when you don't even know what kind of unexpected you can expect...? TIA and good gaming! Alfredo
