PBEM game: The first step (Running)

[Alneyan]

Not a bad idea; I can speak a bit about the strategy myself, but my ability to screw around in tactics is legendary (I sometimes leave the AI to do the tactics on its own, and the worst part is that it does a better job than me).

And yes, going AI is instantaneous. All your other orders for the turn will be overriden however, so don't go AI right now if you still have things to do.
