[Huzurdaddi]

Huzardadi, were you Pythium? I really wish you hadn't quit. After seeing one of your battles with Abysia where you wiped the floor with him, and then subsequently punked Caelum's air queen, I'm quite honestly surprised that you dropped out. It looked to me like you were in a pretty good position. Having an AI in your place will really help out your hostile neighbors, which, unfortunately, are not me.

Well there are plenty more Abysian armies out there.

Sly, sorry about the confusion. I feel bad about the fate of Jotunheim. It seems like the only defense against an early dogpile is to try to convince other neighbors to attack the weak flanks of your enemies.

I have to agree with that. The only defence seems to be availiable if the diplomatic suitation is fluid. In both Jotuhheim's and My case the alliances were set and there was nothing to be done. He did fight until the Last man though. Got to give him credit. I OTOH got to attached to my empire to see it split up the hordes.
