Re: Is this game dead?
Inland is my favorite map. It is not all that big and the games don't last forever. Being wraparound helps a lot, imho. And you are right, Aku, Inland is good both midgame and lategame because everybody is so crowded together. My only MP win is on Inland.
Unfortunately, I simply cannot commit to making a turn every day as I am frequently too busy with RL. So 24 Hr QH is tough to do when turns start taking a long time.
In my Karan game, which was my third ever MP game, I have lasted all the way until turn 126. I am first in every single graph, yet I have zero chance of eliminating the second-place player, Pythium. But I think I cannot be beat either because I have a Hill fort in every province, a huge money and gem income with a growth scale, and can cast 10 ghost riders every turn I need to.
I think the game will wind up a stalemate. Maybe Pythium can overrun me in about another 60-100 turns, but there is no way I will play that game that much longer.
