I am enjoying this game (AoW: Shadow Magic) but had 2 simple questions:
1) Is there a way to see a list of all armies? (like one can see a list of all cities). Sometimes, I press guard by mistake and I want to change or maybe split a troop that is guarding. I know I can click on the unit but it would be easier with a list.
2) Does the AI always know what cities you have and the strength of your troops? In the 1st scenario, the AI send troops to attack a mine. On my first try, I did not leave any units to guard the bridge and AI only sent 1 catapault. Second try, I left 5 units and the AI sent 6 stronger troops. Maybe he is not subject to the same fog of war? Or has special spells to see all cities, troops, etc?

Yeah, i don't think the AI is subject to the FoW in general. I also don't think there's a list for that, so... yeah. :/
Isn't campaign AI sort of scripted, too?

It have triggers. For example if you go to far in a direction a enemy army might appear and start attacking.
I don't think there's a list of all the units, though there is a list of all heroes. However, if you pick a stack of units, there's a little left arrow and right arrow in their window that you can click on to cycle through all your units. You can also use the N and P keys for this (Next and Previous). That's probably the next best thing.

Edit
Ah, I just realised that the N and P thing doesn't work with units set to Guard, that being one of the points of the function. Well damn, that's quite an oversight on the developer's part. There are lists for just about everything else in the game apart from non-hero units.
