Yes Atlantis has finally fallen. I started the game with an awake Wyrm with some extra magic to try to get some fast expansion as well as some later magic diversity. This sort of worked ok to begin with and I think I had an early lead in territory. When I ran into Rlyeh I thought I should try to attack him early before he got too much scary research for his Aboleths but unfortunately he was able to repel my attack and things looked grim. Then he and Oceania got into a war and I stood by on the sidelines thinking I would be able to kill of the victor. Unfortunately Oceania then suddenly collapsed before I was ready and my somewhat rushed attack again failed.

After that me and Rlyeh waged a more or less continuous war back and forth but as I had feared I couldn't really come up with an effective answer to his troops. This was of course not helped by my wyrm getting mindhunted and killed just as it was on its way back to base to start using those expensive paths I had bought for it. Well I mostly tried to use thugged out Basalt kings but I could never get enough of them and in the end Rlyeh just run me over.

Good game and well played whoever is Rlyeh, and good luck to all remaining players.
