I was hoping someone out there could clear these up for me: 1. What are the differences between the four landscapes? 2. When in conquest the computer says his rating is {poor, good, excellent} what does that correspond to in custom mode and what does it affect? 3. What exactly do the first three options of the balance menu (modify land, attack leader, attack towns) allow you do (or not do)? 4. What is the scoring based on (is it # of battles won, relative populations, # of castles/towns, etc.)? If anyone knows the answers to these I'd appreciate knowing. Thanks!
