I have sent Abysia notice that I am terminating our NAP, so any replacement player would be facing an imminent invasion (in addition to the trouble he seems to be having from the Marignon AI).

Anyway, I'm OK either way - we can try to find someone willing to take over such a position or we can set him AI in another turn or so.

I, too, am agitated over all the abandoned nations. Unfortunately, in my brief career in dom2 MP that seems to be more the rule than the exception. Maybe I'll stick to Alneyan's PBEM games in the future. It may be that only the more dedicated players are willing to sign up for PBEM (for some reason).
