I suppose I could have tried to find a sub, but to be realistic, there was little that could have been done by a sub. During the turn that I turned TC to AI, Lanka for all intents and purposes destroyed his largest army. He's surrounded by Abysia, Lanka and maybe even some Kailasa provinces and there is simply no way to come back from the position he is in. Or to even prolong things.

There is also the fact that for all intents and purposes, this is my first MP game. I took part in two others two years ago, one a very shortlived one and the other a longer-running one that was completely ruined by the strongest player just vanishing without turning AI or leaving any word. This is certainly the first game I've been in charge of, so to speak.

So apologies if the decision to turn TC to AI was a bit rash, but I honestly did not think of postponing the hosting of turn 36 further. I'd just come home after a 14 hour day and did my turn and the other alterations as the last thing before going to bed.
