MP Game - Full HowtheGodsKill

Well that's 1pm/1am BST, which isn't quite so flexible. But I doubt there's any time slot that's perfect in both the US and Europe, and anyway I'm fine with a turn in the morning and one in the evening as long as I know when the deadlines are.

Game is now off quickhost, 12 hour fixed schedule hosts approx. 7:30 a.m./p.m. U.S.A. Eastern. Apologies for other time-zoners for whom this may be inconvenient.

Please double-check that your turn was uploaded; removing quickhost required the game to be restarted, which wiped out any uploaded turns at that point.

I tried to do it as quickly as I could after the most recent hosting, so as not to inconvenience too many; one or two of were connected, though, I think.

Well I see the first casualty is Cohen (Abysia). From the graphs it looked like he was strong but Arco (Merciful Mark) put the smack-down on him. Any of you two willing to share what happened? I must say this is the first time in my multiplayer games that Abysia went down early. Mark tell us your secrets

Mark doesn't need to have a secret. Clearly, you don't play in very many games with Cohen in it, because he's nearly always one of the first against the wall in EVERY game....regardless of the game settings. Cohen gets wiped in even his own overly house-ruled settings. From the very first days when he brought us Very Difficult Research, he got wasted and gave us more and more convoluted rulesets. This is just the continuation of the Dead Cohen Saga.

Hell, Cohen's being first against the wall is something that I would BET MONEY ON, and I am not normally a gambling man.

Actually, Jotunheim was the first casualty.

Elephants.

More Elephants.

Many Elephants.

As this was my first MP game (that's got beyond turn 6, anyway), I really didn't want to start fighting that quickly. But Cohen took a very hard line on border negotiations, and told me that if I didn't like it I could always start a war. When I did, it turned out that his army was quite small and pretty squishable. His SC Virtue was a bit a pain, but in the end we worked out how to deal with her too.

Too many resources committed to fighting indeps is my guess; I'm pretty sure that two of his Pretender's four deaths came fighting indeps for example.

Anyway, Jutenheim was first down. Who's claiming credit for that?
