Heya,

so far I have been enjoying the game, but I have a couple of questions about stuff that confused me.

AI- Is it me or empire factions are much stronger in AI. I had a couple of games on normal, with normal enemies (large map), where Kraxis (the yellow shield symbol faction) went overboard with armies and cities compared to me and kingdom AI. Since only 2 other factions were near me - Trath (green helmet symbol) I looked at thought I was doing ok, but then come Kraxis and they just had like 10 times larger army, then mine and Tarth - far more cities, insane income, population etc. They wiped out Tarth, who had 1 city and me - I had 3 cities. Another game it was the same - they overran me. Then I set empire at "Easy" and kingdom at normal, and so far its far more even then it was before. So is it a bug?

Next Q - is there a way to cancel quests? I'm stuck on those dam midnight stones, that are just too annoying to complete and when I walk over other quest locations on the map - refugee camp, hut, some tower, forts etc nothing happens. Am I limited to 1 quest at a time and is it possible to cancel it?

I've seen the enemy factions and creatures group units so that they take only 1 tile on battle map - how do I do that? I got the warfare research that allowed party and squad.

So far I have mainly these questions, thx for the help.
