I wonder if Lord_Bob only is here to make people upset, say strange stuff and generally mess with everyone, given that he recently made a post accusing people of cheating as he had a capital just three moves away.

And surprisingly in my next game I have 4 provinces I can capture without ending up adjacent, by adjacent I mean RIGHT NEXT TO an enemy capital. You can confirm this with Coobe and Yucky. 4 WHOLE PROVINCES! WOO-HOO! I also started out with one of those provinces being a "dead-end" province, forcing my army to turn around, and the other two having barbarians! Yes, that "coveted" corner position is serving me well!

NOTE:
Because I'm not quite sure where Utgard's capital is, I may have had ONE other province I could have taken.... But by the time I could even see it, actually by the earliest possible time I could have taken it, since I needed two turns of Rangers to beat the barbarian, and I took it on Turn 3 using my Black Priest research mage as a commander, Utgard had taken my only possible "fifth province". Currently, I am hoping that Patala will let me out of my corner and have 5 other provinces, but since one of them is adjacent to his capital, I'm thinking he is going to attack me. At that point he can enjoy taking another player down with him as we both lose. Of course, my other option was settling in to my 5 province empire(including capital). So my other option involves me losing to.
