MP: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 8: A Dance with Illithids

[Finalgenesis]

We gonna need a sub I believe, assuming the past 3 turns he really was afk that means 10+ days without a word, probably another one of those.

I'm interested in checking out the super-late game, actually.

What is agartha's position/stratagy?

[bbz]

hmm I'm too far away to say. But currently Agartha doesnt have any globals. has around 1/6 or 1/5th(thats a rough guess) of the map maybe less but i cannot tell. neighbouring an agressive R'lyeh that just casted Arcane nexus and Caelium. and I myself am on the other end of the map. Thats as much as I know.
everyone seems to be building up some armies and goodies for the final showoff.

[Finalgenesis]

I have slightly better info:

There are 4 nations left -
Bandar - bbz
Ryleh - I
Caelum - IRFNA
Agartha -

Ryleh has the river, random beach resorts and the whole NW.
Bandar has the whole south, including most of SE + SW.
Caelum has the whole NE, E border bandar, with a bit poking into the center
Agartha has a small chunk of the river, the North + a bit poking into the center.

Final showdown is looming, and it'll be a brutal one for everyone involved, if you sub agartha expect extreme end game fighting and heavy micro.

Agartha's long stale didn't hurt him since the game has settled into 4 nations with fixed border before he left, all everyone else has done is spend gems.

I myself (Ryleh) have no plans to attack and I'm sure everyone else can at least give you 3 turns grace period to prepare, if they had any plans to attack (which I doubt). You can safely expect a period to build up from the way it looks.

And don't listen to them, my wars in this game were never aggressively started by me, they were either defensive retaliations taken to completion (I don't believe in loose ends), quickie land grab from close to dead nation, and a nation who asked me to end them due to hopelessness (Fairly, they put up a good fight for what they had to work with, no freebie takeover involved).

20 hours until hosting, but I'd be fine with a delay so you can get acclimated if you decide you want to try subbing in, Colonial. PMed info for connecting.

I've been allied with agartha the entire game and would be fine with continuing that alliance. Trust not the tentacle mouths.

[iRFNA]

Colonial, do you want to try subbing in for agartha or not? The game is currently on hold for you

[Finalgenesis]

Might as well make a formal sub seeking thread, while letting this turn go through before the game gets any further delayed and eventually stalls...

[iRFNA]

Sub thread up. I've been a lot more cramped for time lately, as you probably noticed, and so have been rather lax in my responsibilities. I really hope I can manage playing this game when **** finally goes down, but I'm honestly not sure if I'll be able to. We'll see, I guess.

[Finalgenesis]

I feel you mate, I've been in those cramps in the last 2 MP late game I was in and this one is shaping up to be another insane late game micro fest.

In fact, in the last game the end war was held off due to everyone's fear of the micro, and it's the same thing here for all of us I think lol.

[bbz]

yea I cant be bothered to start a war atm maybe when I finish my other game lol
