I like to play vs. the computer, in conquest mode. What I find frustrating is that there are apparently a few surviving units around that keep me from getting the " You are Victorious!" message...
Any hints?

Well, you'll have to hunt down for them, with scouts maybe. At least the CP doesn't run those last few units all over the map and make it a hard time for you.
I prefer to play with standard victory settings. I seldom play against the CP though, too easy. I do so when say, I'm practicing on a new strat or trying to perfect my timings. Yes, I must say it's very very frustrating when you can't find the last CP unit. Sometimes I either hold on to all the ruins/artifacts or build a wonder and wait it out. Of course, I try to strip the map of whatever resources available while waiting. It's fun to build up to a very large size.

I create a couple scout horses, and go find em'. And I also spread my army out over the map so I may find them that way to.

Well! if you are at the stage where you beat the computer and just want to hunt down that last villager running with some wood around. Just use a cheat to remove fog of war and get him.

The tactic is known as Hide and Seek. If playing against a human and they just send a non villager unit to hide somewhere is cowardly and stupid.

Yes, I've seen such players on the Zone before, much to my disgust. In the end everybody just resigned.

It's the best thing to do - you've already won.

Yeah ,they dont bother me too much in a normal game, but in rated, its as annoying as anything, that why i dont normally play rated, you often spend 30 mins of your time rounding up one enemy broad swordsman or something like that.

^So do I. It takes the enemy by surprise when they are finally done destroying your town center only to find another whole village somewhere else.

If the computer is slicing through my defence. I evacuate one Villager and move him into a Massive friendly base where I rebuild.
