MP: Great Forum, game running

[Ragnoff]

well remember I was not in from the start and had almost no interaction with either of you!

I would like to test out some to the things I was working on, I do not know if anyone else would as well. To this end I will let hosting resume with next turn due at 15:25 GMT on Thursday March 3rd.

If you would ALSO wish to continue turns to check anything out let me know. If you are done with the game, please set your nation to AI so that the folks messing about are not waiting on you for turns. Anyone who stales twice will be set to AI.

This is strictly unofficial, the game is officially over with Abyssia leading but no clear winner.

Thank you for letting me join in the fun!

I think you could claim victory, as nobody is able to compete, even if allied together (and do not forget our alliance is still living until Machakas end).

We are far less powerful than what you get (for what I see). I for my part have something like 10 or 12 Asynja, not fully equipped, 15 Vanjarls light equipped for raiding, and only one big stealthed army, with lots of Vanadrotts (20?) and Gnomes but few troops (no more than 35 Vans or Valkyries). 2 Queens of Air, one King of Fire, one Ember Lord, a few Zmeys, but not one unique blood big boy (but 80 storm and knight demons and 500 slaves left).

My income is low, my gem income is ok (100), plus 80 slaves a turn from costly blood hunting.
So I do not think I am a powerful contender. I have spend too much time fighting Machaka with no result other than attrition, and I have begun very lately blood hunting. The northeast corner is so poor that I have never get more than 2600 gold a turn with 40 provinces.
All the beginning of the game was great for me, with 2 good allies Jotunheim and Bandar, I had time to build a powerful nation, to beat Ermor and get room to develop and finally destroy Ulm. But later my lack of experience has let me becoming less potent than other contenders (althought MA Vanheim looks very strong to me, this is the first time I have loved that much my nation, with air, earth and blood magic, stealthed and sacred armies, very enjoyable).

Finally I regret the complete lack of a good pace of play, which have made the game fell in interest and motivation for everyone, resulting in long intervals and abandons...

Anyway, thanks to everyone who played that game for any time, congratulations Ragnoff for the game, and Lihaassa for the wedding (and being my best enemy too).
