Congratulations Zeldor!

A winner to a mege game.

For my part, it was my intent from the start to play a few rounds and exit in a blaze of glory. After a couple of successful wars against EA Aysia and LA Tien Chi, I was going to do a suicide attack on Zeldor. It was obvious to me that his lead was getting too large, and that for whatever reason the Weatern nations refused to deal with him.

But my plans on attacking Zeldor got undermined by a suicide attack on me by Ulm.That was not a big delay, but then Bandar Log and LA Marignon, for reasons that will never be clear to me, attacked as well. Normally I see that they thought a 2 v 1(3 if you count ulm) should result in a win, but any that have fought me know that wins are never quick or easy.

Moreover, I had told both of these nations I was going to attack la agartha. Had they waited a bit, they could have had my empire and it would have been crippled by my war with Zeldor. And it was intent to hurt Zeldor enough to let one of the Eastern powers gain the upper hand.

But as they say the best laid plans of mice and men.........

I will say this. Zeldor must have a sweeter tongue for diplomacy. My gunboat diplomacy failed in this game.
