Default Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!

So, we're done. Tichy, you were a good opponent, but my gem income was just too much. Having three gem globals for such a long time was unexpected. Besides what the graphs showed, I had over 200 clams which I forged in my banefire forges. I also wished twice per turn for gems for quite some time now (when I weren't wishing for seraphs and chayots). And the long period of peace allowed me to accumulate over 40k gold and over 4k gems in my stash before this war began. I didn't even begin to spend any of that. My power was just too overwhelming.

As for the game, after the initial war with Agartha, who fought well, but was caught between me and Bandar, I found banefire forges in a province next to Agartha capital and enchantresses in another of his provinces. So, I just sat back and used my big water income to forge all the clams I could. I used wishing for gems as a way to alchemize other gems into water with a 1 for 1 ratio (and later I did it for nature gems for GoRing Tartarians). Graphs showed I was number three all along and I waited for the war between you (Shin) and Mictlan, which never happened. In the meantime I grew in power and tried to keep up with you in the number of provinces. So I teleported to the other end of the map to attack TC. And when you finally went after Rlyeh, I convinced Mictlan that we must react against you.

I've never had a game enter such a late stage stage before. In the end I was ridiculously powerful. Even a fight with you seemed like a walk in the park.
