Well, I'm done. My strategy was simple and not clearly defined. I wanted a chance to try an astral heavy nation. My pretender was s9e6 I think. I eventually wanted celestial soldiers and thought maybe MR would be important, but I also wanted good scales. In most of my games so far, I have sacrificed scales for bless, or SC pretender. I knew this was also a chance to try clamming, which is not usual now, and I haven't played enough to be sick of that game.
I tried to rebuild after my disaster when Lanka went AI, and should have been able to. BoT killed or rendered useless all my replacement celestial masters. I tried to regroup again, managing to kill a bunch of my masters of the way in various ways, usually with poorly planned communions and lots of dead slaves after a victory, leaving me weaker for the rampaging hordes of Lanka. A well set up empire, and even when I was winning battles, I never took Lanka land, just retook TC territory.
I just retook my cap again, for the third and final time. If I lose it again, I won't even try. I got nothing left for this game. I wish I could say it's been fun, but it hasn't. Not for a long time. Someone once said you learn more from one desperate situation than you do from ten easy victories. I hope I have learned something here. For one thing, a stale turn will always be better than a stoopid charge just 'cuz you're pissed off.
Good game to those still in, and congratulations GE if you get concessions. From where I sit, some of you had some real epic battles, and hopefully some fun.
See ya
