alliance against him.
I'm almost completely certain that his cheating was not limited to just that one game. He always had far, far more resources than anyone else did at any given point. For example, on the world map, with myself playing Arco, and him as Soul Gate Ermor, he was able to cover everything from Africa to Europe to halfway across Asia with Wizard's towers at 50 earth gems each. His research went up faster than Arco with magic 2, three sage sites, and buying 4 mystics a turn. Even the combined hording of both Arco and R'lyeh over a period of 50+ turns wasn't enough to bring down his arcane nexus for more than a single turn. I'd say he was cheating for a good six months or more.

Cheating or not, he had a extremely good grasp of both strategy and tactics, and
was willing to share his knowledge with newbies.
I always found that it was much more productive to play against just about anybody else, as you knew that Norfleet was going to show up with five times the resources that you had, then smash you before you had a chance to learn how to play.
