Defensively I am pretty strong and I have enough mages, SCs and sacreds to make attacking me tough. And it's fun being able to cast just about every spell in the game. I think it is only Wish/other astral 9s I don't have a caster (with the right boosters) for at this point
But I can't make any progress against you and you have been way ahead in gems and especially income for many many turns. Income may not seem that important at this stage but I am sure with 8-10,000 a turn you must easily be able to recruit a mage in each of your 30 forts every turn if needed?. I doubt anyone can come close to that. In fact the rest of us would probably struggle to build 30 mages a turn between us after upkeep now. And while my army is still larger than yours it's mostly free chaff where as yours is not.
I am happy to concede at this point. The turns are taking a long long time now and I think if we continue as we are we will all slowly be killed off by Bandar. Why put him or ourselves through that? I had my chances in this game and did not take them. But I think Bandar has played very well. He built his alliance, took his chances and (with help) took out the early game leader. Then nobbled his closest rival R'lyeh in a single turn. He seems to have held off and even made gains against three of his closest rivals while massively building his gem and gold income up.
However with a bit of cooperation, and if Abysia and Helheim were to attack him as well, this game is certainly not over. I think Bandar might struggle to fight us all at once, but it would be close - he's a long way ahead now and especially deadly on the defensive where his massive communions/astral power is a killer when he gets the first shot in.
So I don't want to call for the end the game if others really want to continue. I am happy to carry on if others want to.
So what do others want to do? Call it a day and crown Bandar? Or carry on fighting?
