I hope you do not think I was cheating.

No, I'm just slightly discouraged because I thought I was in a somewhat stronger position than I was. I probably made a few mistakes the Last 5 turns or so, as I had to rush my turns due to RL, but I was so far behind on the resource curve it didn't really matter.

Yes, it is the ressources that did it. I had about 170 clams, 150 fetishes and 70 blood stones.

My best guess is that allowing you to have the Nexus as long as you did was a serious mistake.

The Forge of the Ancients turned out also extremely powerful. This was the second game I had it (the other one started much later, but was faster paced, and I learned TONS from it) Every turn, I was forging 10 pearls and 10 fetishes, and as many blood stones as I could. Apart from Odin, Veni, Vedi and Vici, my commanders were no better than yours. But I could afford much better equipment. I think that my black servants could have taken on a Tartarian of yours and won.

That, and the fact that you didn't fight another opponent until late in the game when Arco went AI, so you were free to spend all of your time building up.

Actually, I stayed out of the fray because I was afraid to get mobbed. I do not think that I lost a single mage or supercombantant in the war against Arco, Pythium, Abysia and C'tis. Pythium blinded a very powerful Ether Lord, and I had to rush a few Vanadrotts to the rear because they got the swamp sickness, but apart from that, I had no casualties.
And the events justified my fears. As soon as started fighting, although it was against the AI, I got mobbed :-)

Seriously though, well done. You fully convinced me of the reasons I belonged in this newbie game

When I started I was a MP newbie myself... but at Worldcon Petar (Tuidjy) and I played a lot of games together, and I learned quite a few tricks. And my placement in this game was very fortunate. I still wish I did not feel that I had to attack Jotunheim. But I think that without it, I would not have won.
