Executor, I think you are not in the position to decide who fits these games and who doesn't. You along with Midgard let the Giant grow and began to stale when the time of great war has come. And now you blame me. And anyway couple of poor provinces I took from you didn't prevent you from trying to stop Caelum.
As for the Gath. First, I picked up Gath third time in a row in RAND games, it's a true miracle

But the game itself was rather boring only due to my position. Tough neutrals around my capital made my expansion slow. Then I met Marignong in the battlefield and the victory was easy because Marignon didn't even had a chance against my blessed fire-resistant troops. Then I was only sitting on the fence watching graphs of Caelum grow and wondering when my only neighbours Pythium and Caelum will finally begin to oppose the obvious leader.
But I think nothing could be done as the strategy and tactics of our winner were truly brilliant. Congratulations, WL!
