Avogadro6: No problem. And by the way, you don't have to 100% one province before moving to another. In fact, that's very likely to be a losing strategy, because while you're holed up in your base the CPU will be expanding and conquering the rest of the map.
I'm experienced with TBS myself, but I'm still having trouble with Eador because of this. It seems the game is meant to be played very aggressively, whereas I'm used to take my time, play defensively and get elite units built before steamrolling over the map. But this doesn't seem possible in Eador.
Hmmm; I already did lose a game and I only had the original plus two others under control. I tend to play the same way you described.
EDIT: Egads! The answer was in the campaign. No manual strikes again! Generally a campaign is what one does AFTER mastering the game so I didn't open it. A tutorial called a campaign? I guess it's a translation problem :)
