the sun is shining, the birds are signing a stack of devils dead(jammed at the gates). few tartarians on both sides dead. but little change overall. our big armies keep missing each other. maybe next round we will be able to reduce overhead.
I would hardly call Pythium the "sleeping dragon". I'm a distant 3rd in every category in the score graphs.
That's why I decided 30 turns ago that I'd better swing for the fences, but its looking like I only have warning-track power. I need 6 VPs to win - I had hoped to wait until I could attack 7 or 8 in a single turn but circumstances made me go ahead and attack just the 6. Unfortunately, 1 expeditionary force was lost (stupidly assigned to a province it was totally unsuited to attack) and another never left home (either it bounced off a dome, or I accidentally overwrote its astral travel order).
bad round for me- foolish mistakes due mostly to haste. (like forgeting to equip the wratefull sky guy with a storm staff-cost me a v-hex that i should have easily have defended). that's how it goes. looks like pythium had a great round.
i hate to do this but i must withdraw or pause the game for at lest 6 weeks. sorry
A death in the immediate family(my father) and spring seeding. i will contact rev to stall the game till you decide what to do. thank you for the great game.
I'll set the server to quickhost only (-> when all turns uploaded), until we can find a replacement or you're back. I don't know the ingame situation, but setting one of three remaining nations to AI would probably be bad.
