[SirMu]

Between unfortunate losses and three enemies, She shall now retreat into the darkness; She shall leave behind a false self to die in her place, while the real She is off rebuilding her power. This is not the last of She. She shall return.

And when She does...

You will all pay!

(Going AI because there's not much else I can do at this point; one lucky nation shall receive my vast stores of gold and gems.)

As a postmortum account:

Ever since the start of the game when She found herself so close to so many nations, She knew She would have to go to war with one of them; it just so happened that Bandar Log was not only the easiest target, but She would receive 1500 gold from T'ien Ch'i for the act! That and a castle, of course. But She got greedy. She proceeded to attack T'ien Ch'i as well after the apes were crushed; why not have 1500 gold and a castle? Not to mention even another castle! This would not have been so bad if She had not had to deal with the sea dwellers encroaching on her land, not that she could do much about it, and a preparing for a possible war against Caelum. She worked 'with' Shinuyama against Caelum, but She knew, way in the back of her mind, that She would be betrayed. She didn't act against Shinuyama sooner on the off chance he was actually telling the truth; it's not like with her full funds going to war against T'ien Ch'i that she could pay for a first strike on a second front. T'ien Ch'i was smart in that it diverted most of its attention to research and mercenaries as soon as the war started; not only did this combination give it a surprising edge in battle, but will likely allow T'ien Ch'i to survive any double crosses from Caelum or Shinuyama.

Ultimately, She feels like She would have been in a better position, if only She had gone to war with Caelum instead of T'ien Ch'i, because even though they were more powerful, there likely would not have been as many diplomatic land mines. This is excluding, of course, the chance of T'ien Ch'i double crossing her. Which was entirely likely, considering T'ien Ch'i hadn't signed a NAP with us 'Jots' yet.

From a military perspective, Marignon is right. She had too many archers. Though this helped in battle against the masses of monkeys, it quickly fell flat on its face against the shield bearing T'ien Ch'i.

Oh well, it was a fun run.
