Okay Guys, I have just had a week that consisted of an absolute cluster**** of computer and real life problems, one after the other. I found a dominions-literate friend to cover for my simple games, but this one was out of his league, so I was forced to let it stale. At this point, I should be back in business, and ready to resume the game, but after looking at the latest turn, I wonder if there is really any point. ChrisP has a pretty massive lead in nearly every category, with a well of misery that is over 350 death gems, etc. I don't really see even a concerted effort by all of us being able to stop him, and would be willing to declare him the winner at this point. Of course, if you guys all want to keep fighting, I will try to recover from my stales as best I can, and my nation certainly has a lot of resources left I can try to leverage against him.

HOwever, rather than waste many hours of time in lategame micromanagement, my preference would be to start some kind of balancegame3 at this point.

Thoughts?
