I think that deadline is not needed already
As a permanent side watcher and sometimes adviser, I'd like to congratulate Karnoza on his first (and very big) victory here. It was a good game indeed and the opposition was really strong. He was doing a terrific micromanagement job during the last turns and, I know, it's very, very hard and time consuming to reign such a huge empire. I was beginning his game for Mictlan and I'm really glad that Karnoza managed to to lead these bloodthirsty nation to victory.
Also, I was very much impressed by the empire of T'ien-Chi. Drake ruled them very well and if this game had another victory condition, who knows, how it would end.
