Hmm... Meglobob, you just won the game. Strange to turn over the control to AI the turn before victory.

What?!?!? Smacks head, going doh! In a homer simpson kind of way.

Just like Teraswaerto I forgot about the victory conditions.

Can you believe it, I missed seeing my final turn and the victory screen.

Cool, Mordenkainen is the one true god over you all.

Folket, could you do me a favour and change the title to something like:-

Game over, won by Meglobob playing LA Agartha.

I can bask in the fame forever, cheers. This is the 1st ever MP game of Dominions I have won...cool, great...made my night...

I was afraid that you might pull a research victory Megloblob. After I fought your armies and you had not only wizards but also sages in your army and you had several paths researched to level 8.

I thought I myself might stand a chance of research victory after Ryleh and I traded probably 80 or 90 death for air gems I was able to make a lot of research skulls but apparently not enough. I think I was doing around 210 research per turn at the end.

My last turn I was doing over 1000+ RP's. I have 500+ research for ages. I did choose my pretender/scales with a research victory in mind and I think the first 20 turns I played aiming at the research victory. I then started playing to conquer my neighbours, totally forgetting about the research victory...

Lucky I was paying attention those first 20 turns or so.

If I had kept to the research road, I could have probably won 5-10 turns ago.

It was a combination of a early discovery of the wizard province 10RP's/turn and Agartha's death magic(skull mentors)/fire magic(lightless lanterns), the sages I discovered fairly late in the game, so did not make a huge difference, near your border by the way.

Sorry Meglobob, I'm afraid the AI must receive full credit for this win

OK, if everyone has seen their final turns, I will take the server down. Nuzzles to all.

I knew someone would say that!

Thanks Sheap for hosting, Folket for organising and everyone who played.

I had around 300+ research turn for quite long. Had 8 in Evocation and 7 in Blood, 6 in everything else, but it was for fielding some killer demons, not for a research victory.

I doubt I could've won even if I'd remembered the conditions though, with all those wizards.

Folket · #7 January 9th, 2007, 06:15 AM

Well, I can't have been so far behind, I also had 1000 rp at the end, But my efforts was less concentrated early on.

Folket · #8 January 9th, 2007, 06:34 AM

Well, I can't say I was suprised. I had been worried many turns that you would win seeing you had 8 in many paths. I tryed to push C'tis into war with you but I should have happened ten turns earlier to make a diffrence.

Congratulations Meglobob. I hope I will give you better opposition in other games we play.

Seems like my attack came too late.

Congrats Meglobob, well played.
