Concepts of Creation: Ironhawk Suddenly Wins!

[Ironhawk]

Wooooooooooo!!!!

I am at work so I havent even seen my turn but I'm amazingly gratified to hear that my hours of planning and scheming have paid off. Neither of you actually said it explicitly, but I assume that my gambit was successful and I have won the game??

[jeffr]

I didn't want to ruin it for anyone else, but since you brought it up, congratulations

I was enjoying that game, though, and was looking forward to some upcoming battles. Amazingly unsatisfying.

[FAJ]

Yeah, that sucks. What actually happened?
This feels like it was a waste of time; did you barter for VP provinces?

[jeffr]

He teleported a few Angels onto my VP province. I guess the moral of the story is that if you play with VPs, build a fortress on the VP site.

Maybe the game should make you hold the VP province for a turn or two.

[Sir_Dr_D]

Ahhhhhhh! This was such an enjoyable game too. The game should force you to hold onto the VPs for at least 1 turn. The game ending like this is just not fun at all.

Well time to start the next game with the balance mod. I vote for late age this time, and I want to play as Jomon.

[PashaDawg]

Well, forts on those VP provinces would have avoided the problem.

[Ironhawk]

Heheheh, thanks guys. Sorry to take your battles from you... I actually do feel bad about that. I know that some of you were fighting some hot and heavy wars. If it makes you feel any better, I actually had some preparation to hold enough of those provinces to win for a single turn. On the possibility that some of my raids would fail and I would fall short by one VP, you know? Like 3-4k gold in the bank to buy absurd amounts of PD. And arch theurgs waiting to teleport in to support endangered provs.

Moral of the story: Never trust the astral player in a VP game
