this is my first day of playing so my opinion is not completely balanced but I can say that the program used for combat may not take into account what was written by Sun Tzu in The Art of War and thus some slightly more educated people may have an advantage, this may also show up in the statistics as it told me I was doing better than almost 3/4 of the people who play worldwide, that seemed strange to me as it was my first day and only a few hours in, the only I can account for this is Sun Tzu.
