Yes, please end it! What a disaster.
First off, I want to say I think everyone did a good job fighting it out until the end. Credit goes to Maerlande for being a good sport about me poaching his provinces when he was already on the ropes. Unfortunately, that was about the only effective thing I did all game.
Squirrelloid is of course right that there was no sense to my turtling. My not taking a side in the Agartha vs. the world fight meant that when I finally woke up and realized, "hey, TC's about to win" there was nobody around to ally with against him. The only defense I can make is that sometimes when I see a well fought match I hesitate to dogpile one side or the other. Not always, obviously, since I did so against LA Atlantis in CF 2 (and it paid off nicely). But I did here. Really, I kind of feel I should apologize for the game I played here.
Squirrelloid, I don't know if I mentioned it earlier but I was very impressed with the strategic game you played in CF 2. The only mistake I thought you made was declaring war on me before finishing off Aby and fortifying his territories. You made no mistakes this game and congratulations on a well-earned victory!
Random thoughts: I thought the grendelkin in this version of the EDM were borderline OP and of course planned to summon many of them. Early on I found an Ench. 30 site and thought I was in good shape. Unfortunately, my core territories had a water income of 3 so that plan went out the window. My D income in those territories was 2 so I wasn't going to be mass-producing tarts, either. S income was 6 - not horrible but not great either. Of course an obvious solution to this would have been to, you know, conquer someone.
BTW Squirrelloid, did you have a Conj. bonus site in 77?
