Re: Turn 69
 

Hey, *Blushing slightly* http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif, thank you guys for all the compliments but it would seem its too early for them. Ygorl has a huge army besieging my (previously his) fort at Arco and has already breached the walls - so can storm this turn, and though I do hope my army there could stop him, its far from certain.

I think Eweirl had a sound game plan and I thank him again for asking me if I want to take over his place.

Also I must admit that up to this point this has been my most aggressive MP game, as I was involved in bitter wars all the way since subbing. First with Boron, I attacked him while still officially subbing and he came about to give me a hell of a fight. I wasn't at all sure I'll be able to survive him and it had taken all that Ulm had to bring him down. Then came skirmishes with Migaaresno and an all out costly and difficult war with Morkilus. This attitude is usually out of stance for me, cos if I could describe my usual playing attitude (in MOM terminology) it would be pacifist, opportunist.

It is very restricting to play as ME Ulm in terms of research and magical versatility so actually I'm truly surprised I had the luck to even get to this point in the game. What's sure is that last turns are very exciting and I hope I won't get smacked in the face by the next player vying for supremacy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Very impressive, congratulations! That last fight with Agartha wasn't even close, though.

Thanks everyone for the game!

And Oceania survived to see the end! I consider that a personal victory.

Here is the turn file for the first fight for Oceania's capital. password: encase

Re: Turn 70 / Wraithlord Wins!
 

The last turns were very tense. When Ygorl moved to Oceania's capital I was sure he was going to win. The next email I got from Pasha with the turn file (instead of Congrat Ygorl) I was amazed. Your efforts to stop him were heroic and ultimately successful. I really had no way to intervene (research limitation) so all I could do was cross fingers and move two armies towards Ygorl's VP points. Those same armies are the ones that actually gave me the victory although a lot of luck had to do with it.

Thanks everyone for the game, I'm looking forward to seeing you in future games.

I knew it! The plot to perma-encase my poor WQs was a clever machination planned from the very start!

And of course congrats WraithLord, I can't say I'm unhappy to say goodbye to my crippled-but-a-very-long-way-from-actually-dying-empire... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
