Thanks Jarkko, especially for stepping into a horrible position and doing your best with what you had and not giving up. Especially with all the AIs that made this game somewhat painful to keep going. I'd be happy to play in a game with you anytime

I didn't actually set this game up but I think I am beginning to move into the "graphs on" camp as well. I love/hate the mystery of graphs off and like how it prevents auto-diplomacy, where the leader continually gets ganged up on - but I guess that happens anyway, even with graphs off, as happened to Calmon. But graphs off favors the more diplomatically active, and the more I play Dominions, the more I prefer less diplomacy (eg less ganging up on people). Rand games (random nations, unknown who plays who, no diplomacy allowed but graphs on) games are actually my favorite these days.
