Let's see. You are saying that a player who takes a small bit of territory, castles up every single province, buys artifacts that are woefully underpriced, and never figths a war for 70+ turns deserves to win more than a player who fights and eliminates several players and is expanding while fighting off 4 other players at once? Unbelievable that you would make this statement not once but twice...
I am sorry you thought my post was name-calling. But you started it by saying that I did not deserve to win. Besides, it was late at night and I was unhappy with all the staling I was doing in all my games. All I said was that your statement about me not deserving to win was totally absurb, which it is. Not your fault that you are attempting to take advantage of the many loopholes in the game. I have no idea if you would have succeeded or not. I am certainly not at all interested in finding out, because then I might know for sure that the late game is messed up instead of just suspecting it.
Also, in my C'tis game where I am on turn 133 or so, it was the first time I understood just how horribly underpriced both fever fetishes and especially clams happen to be. A few months ago, I did not know this small fact. I do now. No wonder there are so many games with these nerfed or banned. The only reason I made those statements on your Entwined Destiny game was because you said that clams were not underpriced, which is completely wrong. I could not let it stand. They did partially fix the problem by moving to the smaller map Inland, I noticed.
The late game sure needs some better micromanagement to be playable. It just takes too long to make a turn every day or every other day. I suppose it is because I was in 4 games, which is far too much.
Nuff said, I am through with whining. For now anyway!
