MP: Asia Twist - Wraithlord Wins!

[WraithLord]

Turns 16-20:
16. Everybody has 2-3 castles only I am left stuck with 1. Those blessed giants cost a fortune!
Recruiting Gygja for D/N/S/B access

17. Ok. The two forts I was so busy constructing are at last complete, now I have 3 castles. Burn in her celestial prison smiles in content.
The war between Pythium and Van erupts.

18. Oceania is close to extinction at R'lyehs hands. He sends to me a wave breaker that I'll use until the game ends. This wave breaker has literally hundreds of notches, one for each vanquished foe of the true faith
Reach Thaum 2. for site searching.

19. Ulm goes AI with Ashdod being the driver.
Pythium asks for my help against Van but I prefer to concentrate on Ctis. Perhaps this was a mistake on my part as Van will cont. to grow and expand and eat lesser nations and ultimately become a superpower.
Recruit first Joton Skratti. These will prove to be an unstoppable force throughout the game. Properly equipped they even eat Tartarians. An amazing commander with a wide range of abilities that Baalz has described well in one of his guides.

20. Several wars are raging. Most notable is a band of nations against Ashdod led by Pan.
Me and TC finish working out the details for attacking Ctis. The attack is imminent.

Turns 21-25:
21. Start war against Ctis with a probe attack. Gere is leading that army.

Expand far enough to contact Arco. Send him PMs and in game msgs w/o response. That's unusual considering his small stature.

22. Trade for dwarven hammers with TC.
TC hits Ctis from NW, I from SE.
Pythium sends a huge army at Van. A mistake IMHO, since Van is a raiding nation, you can't kill him with one clean strike only get your self dead.
Ashdod is under heavy pressude and losing ground.
Ermor and Atlantis start what would be a very long war.

23. Arco attacks me w/o warning and I lose 1200g and an army securing a castle const. site.
Needless to say Arco officially joins my hit list.
Van is raiding Pythium.

24. Van attacks Bandar as well.
I secure a NAP with Van.
I am now sieging Ctis capital. Nor my first Skratti SC is dispatching the PD like so much chaff, equipped with the same old wavebreaker
I finish 2 more castles and climb to first place in that score graph.

25. Ctis has lost its prophet and what remains of its military force to Nor. It is fading.
Pan and R'lyeh lead the VP race with 2 each.

Personally, if two players wanted to team up to finish the game via victory points, I wouldn't mind at all. I see from the thread that some players did go AI... My gaming experience is ruined when players go AI. I wish there wasn't even a button for going AI. The worst thing you can do when playing a game would be to refuse to play after agreeing to play. As long as I have someone to play with I would not mind if people weren't taking the game seriously.


Maybe if no one ever went AI ever, then maybe I'd be willing to get upset about much less heinous acts. I guess that's just me. I guess no one agrees with me.
