Well, he had pulled at least one trick which I thought he could use currently, so he may be still with us. BTW, that's another reason we had to attack Fomors - they are too tricky!
I also noted some strange behaviour of the game in our part of the world - some of my armies hadn't move as ordered & probably his didn't, too (I can't know for sure whether he ordered them for the reason you just mentioned). But this is another question completely. Did you try to PM him?
As for advice I consider it a part of cooperation. It's fine to share it, but it IS a behavour of an ally (not one very forthcoming with his help, but still). So I see no qualitative difference between trade, actual subsidies or advice. THe latter is harder to prove, certainly, though...

There's an enormous difference between giving gems and gold and items, and giving advice. One you can recieve from anyone on the forums. If I had to consider anyone an enemy that gave an opponent advice, well then, there wouldn't be many people left in the community that I could say wasn't an enemy!

Giving someone gems, gold, or magic items, though, to fight another nation, is clearly a hostile move against that nation. Why do you think the United States is so upset with Iran?

For your turns, make sure you're using the Network, and not just Play An Existing Game. If you do, then make sure you go to the network and ensure that the 2h files upload.

Regarding Fomoria, it's really too bad he didn't stay and stick out the game, for a host of reasons. I hope he turns in some faster turns in recompense.

Fomoria staled? That sucks. They were the only other guys who could catch up with my huge numbers of chaff, too, at the beginning. They kind of petered out, though.

On a brighter note, I love Mind Lords. Especially against cavalry that are an integral part of an enemy's army. As I'm a bit drunk on my recent winnings, I'll repeat my message to C'tis(in English, not roleplayese):

Give me provinces 27 and 18, and the ocean province to the south of those if you have it, and give all provinces to the east of said three provinces to Marverni. Those are the terms of peace.

And I'll send another army to capture them. Then, another one. And another. And another.

I can build an army every two turns, probably more if I started alchemizing. Can you? Can you build an army that's resistance to unbreakable chaff, trampling, and mind-enslaving?

Totally tangential but the idea that the middle east controls the world's oil supply is a huge fallacy. North America only imports about 3% of their oil supply each year from the middle east.

That said, is there any way to know where the hell Helmheim's armies are?

By taking over his provinces one at a time. And of course you know where he is every turn he attacks you. And his army is usually too small to push yours back, which means you can hit him once he's attacked.
