[Pocus]

The problem is indeed that to play the game as it is meant to be played, eg as a game full of subtleties, with magic often prevalent in victory you have to watch battles, so that you understand the finner mechanics of dominions.

But when battles drags for minutes, because arrows flies at a leasury pace, or because the squads are moving one by one... Yaaawnn, its rather detrimental to the game.
