Summer Madness, a game of strategic exploration.

Treacherous. Machiavellian. Bismarckian.

Fascinating.

Anthropos, no offense intended that was just how I perceived things. Specifically I initially invaded your land holdings because I felt you made somewhat rude territorial demands that you could not back in any way militarily. Later, yes, I invaded based on a rumor but I already had an impression of you as a dangerous neighbor and the rumors were just fuel to the fire.

I do not think it is unsporting to attempt to screw your conqueror from the grave. In all games that has been my #1 goal as soon as I realized I was a goner.

Finally, I am not as confident of my own victory as you are, mainly because Mind Blasters can be unpredictable at times.

Awww poor Yomi... and after being such a tech-happy pacifist (for now ).

I gotta give credit where it's due that the technologists of the game have shown remarkable restraint not getting into wars early on, as they are a huge drain on resources that could be going to things that pay off mid to late game.

Yes battles are a lot of fun and have an immediate payoff now (first MP game and I'm having the time of my 4X-gaming LIFE!) ... and yeah, I know I'll learn to regret it in a score of turns when armies led by the mad, freed gods of Tartarus kitted out with the artifacts of yore stomp over my old, disease-ridden, and decrepit troops. :P
