I doubt there will be a weekend session - the living nations have concluded that you just can't fight free troops on this scale. While I killed 500 carrion... things over the past few turns, that wasn't really accomplishing anything. I doubt I've had 500 troops over the entire course of the game...

I learned a few things, and had fun, but I've concluded that the world map is just too limiting. And hats off to Norfleet and Tuijin - their strategy for the conditions is perfect, and in fact, in my opinion, undefeatable.

Obligatory excuse from a loser: remind me to ask for a restart when the order bug hits at the beginning of a monster game - when one puts 200 nation design points into order and growth, and doen't get full benefit from it from turns 2 through 21, ones trajectory is severely impaired...
