For me the highlights of this game were a 530 HP prophet I stole from tolkien, getting (or fighting) every single demon prince, and fighting *every* Doom Horror. The last 30? turns were played under Astral Corruption.

Dueling incredible starts by Mictlan and Sauromatia. The single fastest gem production I have ever seen in any game. (Sauromatia). He added more than 2.5 gems / turn over something like 50 turns! Unfortunately Jim was unable to give the attention the game required and his play suffered later in the game. Ultimately the position was picked up (thanks Shard!).

Late game featured 999 slave Astral Corruption (I think). As well as Looming hells and Dream Corruption. (Was very impressive Scarlioni!)

Originally conceived as a RPG heavy game with players documenting their stories, this game never quite achieved its promise as there were a steady stream of players falling off to either subs / AI. At some point the wiki will be made available, but in the meantime, many of the "chronicles" can be read in the latest thread.

I must say this is a very hard game, in late game I had to use 6+ hours for each turn to deal with the micromanagement. The Dance of Morrigans was way too awesome against pangaea, once they bulit an army and threatened my capital, even at the end of the game I was still feeling difficulty to destory them in an open field and had to rely on my resource advantage/freespawn to fend off the intrusion.

Game - Red Ruby
Age - Late Age
Number of Players - 15
Map - Alexander (with Sites)
Mods - CBM 1.5
Settings - Standard, HoF 15, renaming on.

Victory Conditions - None stated at sign-up. The win was awarded by concession on turn 53.

Winner - Calahan
Nation - LA Ermor

Notes - A game that was slightly marred by several stalers and/or bailers in the early stage, and a good mid-sized nation being allowed to stale-to-death in the mid-game until a sub was found (around 10 consecutive stales IIRC). All nations were active and fighting for the last 20+ turns though, which went some way towards rescuing the credibility of the game.

I have attached the last turn file. (more info and turns available on the game thread, or by PM request)
