Yeah thats the thing that mistifies me.. I have maybe 700 commanders I guess. Yet even if everyone had the same number...
that still doesn't get us to 9000.

As for the efforts of edi, johan etc: - it did pay off in discovering a bug. And my thanks to them.

I'm fine with calling it quits. I have a few tricks left, but it's unlikely I can make a difference at this point. The nexus plus their alliance decided the game long ago.

To be honest, if we called the game now, I'd feel a little disappointed.

I've done all of my fighting all game underwater. It's depressing and annoying really. Agartha is somewhat amphibious, but really, underwater battles are just not very exciting. So, I've got some neat toys ready to roll, that only work above the surface, and that I haven't had the chance to subject a human to.

Of course, I'd never adamantly argue against an ending that were somehow in my favor. Not just because I like that outcome, but I'm not going to be the "NO, you have to let me stomp you into the ground!" guy. If people surrender, they surrender, that's life.

I do think that there's a lot that is still up in the air in this game, though the Marign-garthan alliance is rather powerful. I honestly think more people would have more fight left in them, if it weren't for the Burden of Time and Armageddon. My income seems to be down about 40% or so from what it would have been, and that makes recruitment and upkeep a painful exercise. I don't know how I would feel about all that, if I didn't have all these gems.

Unlike Jim,

I'd like to call the game, either with a victory or a shared victory. Even more than he has, I've been fighting underwater, and I have to concur.. that is *REALLY* no fun - first with oceania, and then with ryallah. I have to guess I'd be at LEAST twice as effective fighting above water. None of Marignon's fire spells work underwater, really.

However, I will of course do what the majority want.

The only thing that is a concern to me is that with this summoning bug, I don't see how going forward isn't irreparably damaged - aka buying or recruiting units will bear no relationship to what you actually bought... More or less, positions are mostly fixed: Most of the Elemental royalty are out, and a lot of the unique summons.
Seems like an * regardless of how we decide it.
