So, that all having been said, there are three ways to play AOW3 as a single player game. As mentioned, the live multiplayer community expects people to use autocombat resolution for fights against AI armies (which takes a lot of the fun out of the game, in my opinion), and while play be email (PBEM) is an option to allow for getting the full game experience, that can also mean literally taking one or two months to play one match, depending on how many (real) days it takes you to advance each turn, which ruins its appeal for me. Also, it's worth mentioning that I've been playing against the AI exclusively. I'm not a chess grandmaster or anything, but I can do a decent job of reading the battlefield and finding ways of exploiting synergies. On the other hand, I do tend to be fairly solid at tactical combat, especially in a turn-based setting where APM is a non-factor. Whether we're talking about real time or turn-based, I tend to have a poor sense of balancing building armies, advancing tech, and expanding.
Now, in the interests of full disclosure, it's worth mentioning that I'm pretty bad at playing strategy games, particularly ones with significant economic complexity, likely in part because I don't usually like them enough to stick with them.
