'k...I've been quiet for a while. I DID reinstall the game post-patch, as I said I would, and I've played it a few times.

Here's a little something to mull over:
Attacking is almost a necessity in this game. The AI ruthlessly attempts to hem you in, stick you with a bunch of marginal terrain, and then mass troops to finish you off. To counter this, we humans REX, and hit them hard, before they have a chance to set up.
