Yeah ok to end by me looks in my limited world view that Aku has won (at least he has beaten me!). If anyone could have attacked him recently he would be pressed but I do not think I will be even a distraction much longer

It's too bad, for this game was so fun. But I think it is badly hosed and must die a painless death. We have had many a problem all along, and it is amazing that it was stable enough for us to go so far into the game.

As for declaring Aku the winner, the great and holy empire of Pythium will never agree on this. I even believe that after all the massive recent battles, the loss of the air queens and ice devils, and the (near) elimination both of the devil's two allies, Abysia is now only third best in this game.

I think Man is currently strongest, though my own Pythuim might be just as strong. It is difficult to know for sure without the score graphs.

Pangaea is certainly fourth, followed by Vanheim, R'lyeh, Arco, and then Caelum. Just my own opinion in my corner of the world, so I wonder what the other folks think.

To summarize, here is the official standings from the completely unbiased network, the one and only PNN:
1. Man
2. Pythium
3. Abysia
4. Pangaea
5. Vanheim
6. R'lyeh
7. Arcoscephale
8. Caelum
9. Machaka
10. T'ien Ch'i


I do have a question for all. I was not all that far from completing all research. When that happens, I was envisioning all my 100+ mages/priests reverting to defend castle. So, when I cycled through the next commander hot key (n), I could just see myself having to mess with a gigantic number of idle dudes. And every single turn too.

I assume that this dilema has happenned before to someone.

I would disagree with ranking me third. I had all the arch devils and 3 ice devils(actually if it would of went to the next real turn it would of been 4) in my capital and was resummoning one a turn. I also in the next 2 turns was going to summon back 2 air queens. And on top of all that I was constantly summoning devils.

I personally feel I was the strongest nation. I had the most sc's, I believe the biggest gem income, and I know I had to be the biggest clammer. Too bad I didnt get to experiment with my idea with assassins with blood thorns and the dusk daggers =[.

Pythium and Man did have big armies but Man's armies would of been vulnerable to my flames from the sky because his troops have low hp(especially after I would of dispelled his gift of health if we went to war). I honestly didn't have any fear of defeat in the game. As time went on I would of had vampires for home defense and devils for offense but also complimented with multiple sc's(I wasnt going to send them out commando style anymore). And the air queens when resummoned I wanted them to go out with storm demons. I had a lot of plans I wanted to play with but the game got bugged bec of the damn patch =[.

But oh well I was ranked 3rd in the first newbie game until everyone actually realized as the game went on that I was the most powerful. It is because I go for the long term win but focus on the ability that I cant be destroyed bec I was fully confident that I couldnt lose in this game. But anyway, Im happy enough to give Klatu the win just for the sake of hosting the server through all the bull**** he had to deal with because of all the server problems of constantly having to reboot it almost everyday lol. But through all the problems this was a great game and a lot of fun with all of you guys.
