Re: Question about subs for this game
 

I'd just like to put in that while I've enjoyed subbing for EA Van, I've ended up staling a few turns and will in any case shortly have even less time for long term games. So if by next turn another sub hasn't expressed interest I guess I will be turning it over to the AI.

You can try making it sound like im a bigger threat than you, but anyone that has glanced at the graphs knows the opposite is really true.

I invite any nation that consider LA ermor a threat to contact me - lets do something before velusian becomes way too powerful.

Of course he's a *threat*, evilhomer.

But he doesn't have most of the relics and elemental royalty. Come on.

Now, if you wanted to deliberately reduce your size, and otherwise offer huge, crass bribes to the second-tier nations, you might have a viable proposal.

Re: Question about subs for this game
 

I know you are allied with him so I understand your "view". However, this game won't be won due to some elemental royalties.

Re: Question about subs for this game
 

Elemental royality is also a pretty limited source, while tartarians are almost as strong and are in unlimitted suply.

So when is the next game like this starting? It sounds pretty insane!

Re: Question about subs for this game
 

The consensus is that it will be won by diplomacy. I do not know if you've *actually* been threatening people, demanding bribes to refrain from crushing them, and so forth. I'm not going to fault you for playing agressively, I've been known to be somewhat agressive myself, but you've either been too beligerent by far, or you've lost the propoganda war in any case.

Ermor has not - and the only player he's well known for crushing has been Nifelheim, an act widely viewed as a public service.

Furthermore, you've been aiding/supplying players who are about to be crushed. This is a good idea in a sense, as it weakens those doing the crushing; I certainly don't fault a player for taking one last stab in the eye of the one who eliminates him.

However, by aiding such players you've earned a lot of enemies (including me), and not made any friends.

That said, while Knife Bright Insight may *appear* to be indifferent to Ermor's losses against you, that is because he has assigned no less than a dozen Monks who try *really really hard* to be sad. Hopefully, the struggle between R'lyeh and Ermor won't end in mutual slaughter, because then I'd need an absolute *army* of monks to spend all their time being miserable. Who wants that?

Re: Question about subs for this game
 

I dunno, many are reasonable and realise that a Man + LA ermor + LA atlantis + EA lanka alliance is very dangerous too the rest of the players.

Ermor has made war on many nations - none has been "public service".

I don't view a mutual trade as aiding - anyway we will see if I stand alone in this.... if people know whats good for them they won't let your evil alliance take them out one by one without doing something about it.

Re: Question about subs for this game
 

Well I was hoping to leave any notifications to my sub, but since I haven't had any luck finding one yet...

LA TC is another nation being attacked by Ermor, just a few thousand undead rolling in, messing up real estate values. I see about 4k at this point, and I'm pretty sure there are another 2-3k right around the corner.

At this point it isn't against any "alliance", just Ermor and my ill advised war with Machaka. LA Atlantis has actually been a very good neighbor, friendly and helpful and have not had any contact with Lanka or Man.

Any assistance would be helpful, and can be paid for through gems/gold/items/future considerations.

Really wish I had the time and interest to do this properly, I've assumed it would happen eventually and had planned a bit. Sure no one wants to sub into a strong nation that will be very interesting shortly?

Because I'm a nice guy (nicer than LA R'lyeh) I'm going to share the eye of god map image to everyone:

I'll keep updating it every 3 or so turns for as long as I got the eye up.
