As an outsider, I'd just like to thank Calahan for pointing out to me the major difference between fighting to the very end and going AI, namely the AI's habit of suiciding out of all its forts. I have been watching my brother's performance in Cripple Fight, and though Arco has been essentially irrelavant since around turn 35, tgbob stuck through it and managed to survive and tie up his resources till turn 60! That has probably made a huge difference by preventing him from eliminating any other nations. This really throws into perspective for me the importance of fighting to the last. Thanks to Calahan and tgbob for teaching me this.
