Hi Don
Thanks for the welcome back message. Currently enjoying myself immensely by picking through some of the main forum threads. Man I've missed loads, but it's great to see that everyone who makes this place so great is still around
Congrats on winning this game as well. I'm sure it's not how you would have wanted to win, but it doesn't seem you had any choice after I disappeared and with 'Drager' having to go as well. Looks like my central position and 'competitive spirit' (read aggressive warmongering) held a key part to keeping this game interesting. Think the difficult research actually helped make the game different as well. I haven't got much MP experience yet, but it seems that a lot of players get into a comfort zone of having certain spells researched by a certain time, and go into semi-autopilot. But difficult research makes you think just that little bit more about what you are doing (not that I didn't completely mess my research goals up in this game
)
Now that I'm back I'm also looking to add some more stuff to the community when I get chance. And finish off the things I started too!
