Well, it was fun as long as it lasted - I thought I was lost just by round 5, having bad luck + mistakes vs. indies. But then I got lucky about my neighbour whom Baalz subbed for (luckily, it was in sufficiently bad shape for me to get him).
Well, and when I was about to attack our oh-so-Earth-poor Agartha, 75% of my army (>60 commanders plus a load of other stuff including Tartarians) got sneak-attacked by Eriu. He cut off my retreat and taught me *never* to leave a force that large unscripted, even though there is no danger 'apparent'...
Bah. Yeah, learning game. Still prefer games that get played til the end, although it was over for me at least
