And yes, I was poor Patala. Congrats Burnsaber. The graphs had looked pretty remarkably uneven for some time, but I was just kind of playing along, taking the AI provs and whatnot. After my ghandarva army got obliterated by Agartha's tomb oracles, I saw I was pretty much outclassed in this game.

I finally started to get some of my high-end summons towards the end of the game, but even they would have been no match for the other SCs in the game.

The one nice thing I learned is that they destroyer of worlds is a really awesome pretender. He never lost a battle, in fact, I don't think he was ever even hit. I should have used him more aggressively, but I was terribly paranoid of losing him, since I knew he was the only thing I had that could stand against the other SCs.

I'm not a monkey nation player generally, and had a lot to learn about playing them. But it was quite a bit of fun after all.

As for not attacking Gath... he was the first nation I met, and when we met, we both backed off from each other, and he never came back. So I figured, hey, he is my only friend. I'll leave him be. By the time he skyrocketed out of control though, it was kind of too late to do anything.

C'tis here. What I hoped would be a counter to Agartha's TOs (Sauromancers spamming Wither Bones) turned out not to work with the forces I had arrayed against him, and I felt the momentum swinging his way. At that point it didn't seem worth the effort to install Dom3 on my new computer just to experience defeat, so I set myself to AI.

It was fun while it lasted, thanks to everyone involved for an enjoyable game.
