Oh yeah, a cool feature that we neglected to mention before is that the
cities in all the tournament scenarios only produce Scouts at the start
of the game.  Each player is also given a rather large amount of cash
to build whatever armies they want in each city.  We've also designed a
quick-building army set that is very well-balanced.  I think that every
army type has been built at one time or another during playtesting.

Want to crush your enemies with stacks of all Elephants?  Or think that
all flying armies would win the day with their superior mobility?  Or a
balanced combination of them all to take advantage of terrain and
modifiers?  Whatever your grand strategy, it's your money to do with as
you wish.

We feel this greatly adds not only to the variety and enjoyment of the
game, but also helps more clearly determine who is "The Greatest".
