winning is _quite_ over-rated in any event.

good game guys.

Re: Wild Red - MA game (in progress)
 

i wish i could have been more enthusiastic but this game was like playing SP for me since i was at war with AIs the whole game. had maybe one fun battle with Machaka before he went AI. then it was AI wars with R'lyeh and Atlantis. had Man not abandoned the game the turn after I attacked him, it might have sparked my interest, but seeing as he apparently never found a sub, the thought of fighting yet another AI was enough to kill it for me.

anyway, thanks everyone who stuck around and thanks archaeo for picking up admin duties.

Yeah it's sad to see so many people giving up after their first defeat lately. I think I'm going to try to play only on small maps from now on, so there's less chance of people burning out.

I had fun as Agartha in this game at least. I was constantly war with at least one nation from turn ~12 on. Strangely I couldn't get ANY earth income either; I think I only had my capital for earth gems until turn 30 or so. The only thing that saved me was finding a 40% blood site early on in the game :)

Well, it was fun as long as it lasted - I thought I was lost just by round 5, having bad luck + mistakes vs. indies. But then I got lucky about my neighbour whom Baalz subbed for (luckily, it was in sufficiently bad shape for me to get him).

Well, and when I was about to attack our oh-so-Earth-poor Agartha, 75% of my army (>60 commanders plus a load of other stuff including Tartarians) got sneak-attacked by Eriu. He cut off my retreat and taught me *never* to leave a force that large unscripted, even though there is no danger 'apparent'... :p

Bah. Yeah, learning game. Still prefer games that get played til the end, although it was over for me at least ;)
