grats for revenant, and thanks for playing guys!

i would like to summarize the flow of the game a little, here are the beginnings from my aspect:

i used an awake dom9 F4B6 moloch and sloth/turmoil/luck scales, with the plan to start forging contracts by year one. Then build up a strong blood economy and go for a domkill. It was a routine and throughoutly tested opening for me, I had excellent expansion (got the most provinces under the least time), but ulm unexpectedly attacked me about on turn 10. i though it will be the doom of us, dragging down in a too-soon war again, he has no chance to finish me off quickly with my awake SC god. Im convinced i was right, but 3 turns later shinuyama attacked me too, and then ermor "came to the rescue" by putting my western provinces under his protection. so i was put in a hopeless 3 vs 1 battle within two years from start. Actually ermor didnt attack me, and his intervention hindered shinuyama. I managed to beat back or considerably slow down both my opponents, but finally i gave up and went AI. That was year 1-2 from my point of view. Why did u do what u did? Shinu? Ermor? What happened to TC and arco in the meantime?
