Kosomoko, turn on your private messaging, I'm trying to contact you about some diplomacy (short form - you stick to the provinces to the north of me, I'll stick to the ones to the south).

Well it would have been nice if you got back to me because then you wouldn't have made a pointless attack on me on the fourth turn. You'll probably beat me given that you have a SC pretender and I don't. However, I'm going to make sure that it takes you as long as possible, at which point everyone else is going to get a huge site advantage over you. Then I'm going to RUIN your pretender even if I probably can't kill him. You'll win the battle but you definitely won't win the war. So yeah, that's why communication in multiplayer can be nice.

Woah, that's crazy talk! You mean, like, actually interact with other players?!

More seriously, that is one of my concerns with this mod (I am playing it now in another game). It seems like the optimal path to success is to take an SC pretender. Although I think that the mod originator (dude with a ball, Elmoki or something?) is trying to tweak the available chasis a bit to make other strategies more viable.

Well, I do hope I have a chance without an SC Pretender...

It definitely feels like taking a SC pretender is optimal since earlyl expansion is so important to establishing your troop and magic diversity. However, I feel like there are other viable strategies and I was looking forward to trying one out. It's difficult to handle a rush from a SC with all mages having one path, though. I guess we will just see what happens.

I see your post now. I made preventive attack. You use a Super mage to research fast. If i made nap whith you, your pretender and your republic of Gray convert in very hard. In this moment i need try to kill fast, because your strategy its better in med and late game (i think).

Im sorry if i rush you (or i tray) but its a game, and I think its better option for me.

Don't be sorry, just prepare for a drawn out conflict that's going to hurt us both and probably kill one of us. It's all fair play. Turn on your private messages for future games, though.

Sorry, he has different names on different forums and I couldn't remember who he was here. I think it's EndymionAsleep but I'm not sure. Just start typing the name into the PM box, leave it alone for a second, and his name will show up.

In other news this war that Brown has decided to wage on me is definitely killing us both. Had he been smart about it he might have done it quickly enough to save himself but at this point it's just going to be a mess when our armies meet.
