My 2nd win where a main competitor went AI as things were getting interesting. However the position I had was largely unassailable short of some nap cancellations which didn't seem likely.
Even with some extra opponents I had 50+ Jarls the forge had been up for 15+ turns (maybe 20, it did go down once) huge gem income, everything pertinent researched, as many artifacts as i wanted...
So yeah, premature perhaps, but when the game becomes a race to see who can pick up the most of a big AI nations territories it loses alot of everyones interest.
I did nothing special with Neifel either E9N8S6 bless with moderately crappy scales and just rushed Abysia (which may not have been real smart, but hey, it worked) after researching Wolven Winter.
