No. zapmeister tried a massive landgrab against the collapsing Arcos, and the weak marignon. Storm began to fight him, and I gave Zap my 3 turns notice as required by our agreement, since I had promised marignon that I would come to his aid in the event of attack.

Zap was fighting storm, but said that he would throw the game to storm if I attacked in any way - after being browbeaten by him, I was going to attack w/ one raiding party of 15 slingers. Even that was too much for him, and he still threatened to throw the game. As such, I did not do anything to meet my personal word to Marignon that I would come to his aid, not wanting the game to end so cheaply.

Thus, while his major opponent was Storm, who could be thought of as zap's nemesis, the threat involved throwing it is completely to his supposed "nemesis."

This is the context of my taking poorly your suggestions of "going kamikaze."

As it turned out, Zap couldn't handle storm's arguably weaker nation, and so, even w/ one of the largest empires still, decided he wanted to quit in this "no quitters" game. As a side note, and ironically, Cohen himself fought till the bitter end.

I'm just hoping this game can be salvaged. It was my first time playing as mictlan, and I was enjoying the difference.
