Yeah, a little complaint and its "huff and run" -- reminds me of the office I am forced to go to every day. It's a game guys. Please don't make it seem more like "work," if it can be helped.
Well, as everyone else has pointed out, T'ien-chi had this one bagged up. He should have stuck around to enjoy making us all say "uncle!" -- that's what the endgame is all about, right?
Myself, I was so pathetically behind on research (Early Ulm and took -3 magic scales -- um, yeah, not doing that again). I was just proud to have made my first golem. I just got my shiny new Forge of Ancients to make some cool stuff to give it and see if I could win a battle.
I say we come back when DC gets his new game going.
