Oh, and I have another question. I seem to have noticed that the battle replays don't always happen in the same way. Is that supposed to be that way? I mean, I watched the same replay, and the pretender didn't get killed, although the message stated that it did, and then when I saw it again it did, then the third time around it survived again. Huh? How am I supposed to know which one to trust with reagrd to afflictions, kills, etc.?

It is not supposed to be that way, what Version of the demo are you using? Is it in multi or single player?

I am using demo 1.15 Version of Dominions I. It was in single player. I was fighting the Ctissan Sphynx, my first combat against the pretender. I got the message from Ctis that I killed their god after the message about the battle, but when I watched the replay, the Sphynx survived the assault. It had about 600hp left of the initial 1300+, it had a curse and all sorts of afflictions, but my armies were routed by a watchtower before they managed to take her out. The battle message said that I failed to take the province, and at the same time it said that the enemy commander was killed. I watched the replay again, and it got killed. Then, the third time was similar to the first one, although I think it got far fewer afflictions this time around. In any case, the fort was still under siege, I didn't take it as far as the overall map goes, so I stormed the castle again, and took it without resistance - the Sphynx wasn't there.

I know it certainly happens if you play a turn with a user added unit and then edit the unit stats, go back, and watch the replay again, but I didn't know it could change with standard units.
