[Baron Grazic]

Yes Pairs might be your game Makinus.
At the start of the game, I was fairly strict about keeping the turns going, but since I'm now in time shortage too, and my turns are taking an hour or more, and no-one else has mentioned speeding the turns up again, we are doing a turn a week (mostly).
You could perhaps take over Primitive empire, with Alneyan as your Partner, who from my side-lines is heavily engaged and has a shot at winning, or their is "Dinglehopper's Empire" which I've been told is in some trouble, but is 2 empires who have joined.
Sign up if you are interested.
