I wasn't pissed at you. I had just lost my previous game due to the nexus. Coming into this game, I saw I was up against the nexus once again. Marignon DoWd me once I took over, it was clear that you two had an alliance and I was faced with choices.

1. Give up provinces to Agartha and join in a 3 way alliance against Jot. Not ideal since, being the new comer, I would a) be the most likely to be targeted after Jot was finished up b) I would be at a severe disadvantage in racing to take Jot's lands being a water nation c) the nation with the nexus would become stronger and eventually unstoppable.

2. Try to put together an alliance to stop the Marignon/Agartha alliance. I approached other powers and they declined.

2 would have been ideal in helping ensure a victory for Ryleh.

Having already turned down option one I was to go it alone against the fearsome duo, despite holes in my research namely evo6. I thought I would be able to manage at first...then the Seraphs showed up. At that point there was only one thing left to do...stall long enough and try to kill your great enchantress so that the nexus would come down.

It's funny I barely thought about dispelling it. The previous game I tried that route since it was an oracle camped in the heart of enemy territory, but in the end all I accomplished was wasting gems. So this game I tried to side step the dispel and tried leprosy and finally in one final desperate attempt armageddon.

It's sad that in the end the game ended due to a bug, however, imo, it would have ended with Marignon/Agartha for the win regardless. Although it would have been interesting to see which of the two would have won a head to head war once the rest of the world was split between them.
