Turn up.

Upon seeing the next turn, I'm ready to surrender. I don't want to give up if either Boron or Pasha want to keep fighting, though.

Cunknown,
What was Jurri using that got you so blue? Big globs of Sc's? Mages? Or did you find it too difficult to opperate effectively beneath the sea against an underwater nation?

Jurri is attacking me all over with SCs, one in each province he's taking. Anything that's unforted is his, basically. Also, he is summoning massive numbers of angels, at least 1 group a turn, and they're slaughtering my tartarians, devils, etc.

At the moment, Jurri has easily twice my number of provinces (half the world, roughly), he has an obscene gem income, he's not hampered by the Astral Corruption like I thought he would be (whereas I am getting killed by it), he can't beat my armies, although he simply doesn't have to--he just avoids them and takes everything else in the world.

Going underwater isn't that difficult, I'm making progress there. But it's just the sheer # of provinces and commanders I'm losing every turn that has me down. If I have a chance, I have to be -gaining- ground at this stage of the game, not losing it. It's only going to get worse as my gem income (and gold income) decreases while his increases.

Basically, I can see that I have no chance, and I don't want to play out the 30 turns of pain just to watch my empire fall apart.

Now, if the world was united against Jurri, that's a different story, and we might indeed have a chance. I'm putting in my vote to quit, I just want to see how the others (Boron and Pasha) are feeling about our chances against Jurri (if we work together).

[Boron]

Well my empire is weak. I also vote for ending the game.
From what i can see i would also say Jurri has won.

Hmm, I'm starting to believe that I may have overestimated Chris's strength, seeing how down he is. And indeed, the reason I stopped beating Boron down was because Astral Corruption is actually beneficial for me, since it should be a huge pain for Ulm and a non-issue for me.

I'm cool with continuing or ending this now; I do enjoy the logistical level of crushing Chris, but the largish amount of micro is annoying. I think I have counters figured out for the Ulm armies that I have seen, but I can't be certain if they work or not. (I'll tell you once we stop - or show you if we don't ) I'm guessing you're overestimating my gem income (as you have done for the last 50 turns ), but I do have something of a stockpile prepared in case you got my Nexus down somehow.
