New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy

[Sedna]

Yeah, dominion killing was clearly the way to go. To be fair, much of the time I had you under siege I was very busy attacking Caelum after they attacked Machaka and presented too tempting a target. But taking the time to finish you off before getting into that, or not trying to rush the thing immediately afterwards would have been far better choices.

So... are we trying to play a second rand game?

Then again, I don't think you anticipated how much I was able to build up before each of your assaults. Normally, someone gets cut down to just one province, that's it - especially after your first attempt at storming, you could reasonably expect I wouldn't be getting reinforcements. But in addition to the capitol income, I had extra earth (thanks to Caspar's cave appearing) and 2 death income a turn from my lich.

Would've been even better / worse if I had played the base theme, with maenads popping up all by themselves.

Edit : This being my third or fourth time hanging on for 20-40 turns after being besieged capitol only with Pangaea didn't hurt either - I had practice.
