I think i could put up a fight, and could even beat agarthas huge, main army on the eastern front, but in the end i dont see much of a chance, they have just too many provinces and gems, and im still fighting ulm too (altho it got to the point where it is quite one-sided, but still has a lot of provinces.), while having about half as much resources as the the one-eyeds.

when i got close enough to agartha to finally fight him, their terriory and gold/gem income lead was already huge.

If we all agree, then we can declare agartha and sziro the winner. very nicely played. a very good diplomat, and a careful strategist. and it was his very first MP game!

altho i consider it an important part of the story, the he was tremendously helped by:

-extremely imbalanced placement (as the only nation in the whole middle island, he had 27 provinces to expand to, while at least two other nations (me (lanka), sauro, and perhaps niefel had about 7-8),
-being the only "water" nation. (this was a good combo with the island)
-and having passive/docile neighbors.


I think Tiavals-TC made a mistake by handling Yomi the way he handled it, and had his forces nailed to yomis cap for much of the endgame, for too long. otherwise played very solid, and he is very cool guy too!

I was surprised about Jimbo missing a chance attacking agartha when he got into a war with caelum, or better yet, not forming an alliance with caelum and attacking agartha right after the expansion phase. jimbo is an otherwise cunning strategist, and bonus points for playing ea ermor! (for some reason not a popular choice)

thank u all for participating!
