Well I was about to say that I understood that they could only be one, and was willing to give IO first place so I could come in a nominal second... but oh well such is war

Oh and Klepto, well played, I expected to walk over you but you put up an interesting fight that put me on a backfoot more than once.

What about the tricky Ulm? Don't we get the barbarians' opinion? They were kind of an early superpower, can't wait to know if they have some way to get the supremacy in the pocket...

*sigh* Unfortunately I have no tricks up my sleeve. Slayer's AI has really made a mess of me (nice job--I've learned much from getting slaughtered). When I started a war with him, I thought I had every advantage, but he has gained the upper hand in our little war.

On the whole, I feel like I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm hanging on vs Mictlan, not going down quickly but still going down. But I keep waiting for some other nation to come along and wipe me out.

I have no problem calling the game now--I definately don't have any sneaky tricks waiting.

BTW...sorry I haven't been on the forums much. School has kept me busy, and then my wife had a baby. So I've been fairly stretched. This game has been LOADS of fun though...I've learned a lot about dominions.

I'd like to play in the sequel...but I should think about my time situation. (I'll let tifone know soon if I really want in or not)

Thanks again to all!

Wow gratz for the baby, man!! My best wishes

Glad you had fun also, I really hope you'll be able to play in the sequel too, you crafty old devil

let me know

ya, someone called me to come to forums and discuss, therefore i came...hahahaha

anyway, actually i am quite busy in my real life and haven't really come to forums and discuss much. Ulm's doing great job while as we all know how bad it is in a late game and how strong the blood nations are in the late game. I've learn some stratgies and ideas from the ulm player too. Hope we all have fun and know more about the dominios3 after all.

I wont mind call for the end of the game since I dont think I am able to. With the GE that Marverni have, I'll vote them as the winner nation if we want to choose a winner now.

cheers

Lol... not a chance. Sauromatia still sees the opportunity to win and has no desire to give that up!

Meh...
In how many turns do you expect to play your hidden trump card?

Mithras · #**277** January 21st, 2009, 11:23 AM

Well its time for the other complete reversal. I've decided that getting slaughtered will be much more fun than just plain giving up. And so I vote we go on.

Illuminated One · #**278** January 21st, 2009, 12:58 PM

Ok, in that case I have to give this to a sub.

Tifone · #**279** January 21st, 2009, 01:00 PM

IO what about making the turns longer instead? So you could play a turn during multiple days... nobody is in a rush here, everybody can wait for you

It would be a pity if the most likely to win now, drops the game...

Illuminated One · #**280** January 21st, 2009, 01:11 PM

Well, if everyone is ok with it, we could do that.
But I have a lot of work now, and it is an distraction. So it should be five days hosting interval or so, really.
