Another Newbie Slugfest - Restarted

[The Panther]

Inland is my favorite map. It is not all that big and the games don't last forever. Being wraparound helps a lot, imho. And you are right, Aku, Inland is good both midgame and lategame because everybody is so crowded together. My only MP win is on Inland.

Unfortunately, I simply cannot commit to making a turn every day as I am frequently too busy with RL. So 24 Hr QH is tough to do when turns start taking a long time.

In my Karan game, which was my third ever MP game, I have lasted all the way until turn 126. I am first in every single graph, yet I have zero chance of eliminating the second-place player, Pythium. But I think I cannot be beat either because I have a Hill fort in every province, a huge money and gem income with a growth scale, and can cast 10 ghost riders every turn I need to.

I think the game will wind up a stalemate. Maybe Pythium can overrun me in about another 60-100 turns, but there is no way I will play that game that much longer.

You could wish for armegadden a bunch of times like Boron did one game when he was Ermor. That will make the game interesting lmfao.

But I like short, middle, and late game. In each game I want to play all three parts because they are all fun in their own way. The time issue in late game is always a problem but what I do is play only one or two games. Like our game now is mid game so I am starting a new game. Basically it is nice to have one game in the mid-late and another game in the beginning. It is also cool seeing the strats people use with their empires and I am always seeing something new.

I really hope this game isnt dead because I still had cool stuff I wanted to try with Ryleh.

[Boron]

Is the game dead ?

[Aku]

I dont want to say its dead until we hear from Grim.

[Steerpike]

Wheres Grim?

[Aku]

Boron and I have wondered where he is too. He hasnt posted anywhere on the forums so I hope nothing bad has happened to him in real life.

So, what's the poop? Is this game still going?
