What's up Hellboy?

Time for me to bow out, I think. I'm sorry, but work + personal obligations have changed radically since I started this game. Plus this is a very complex position, and that combined with my relative inexperience has meant that turns are now taking me a very long time to complete.

For those considering the position, I would describe it as one of the stronger nations in the game, but well behind that of the leading nation, Helheim. T'ien Ch'i has significant resources to spend at I'm just at the peak of a long buildup of research/resources. I'll be happy to brief any player taking over in detail, via PM or email.

Jazeppi, if I'm the only one holding the game to 72hrs, you might consider sticking around. However, this is the end game on a very huge map, so one should expect that the large nations will have very complex and difficult turns.

My position is pretty hopeless. Once the game hosts again, I am going to set myself to AI rather than give someone a position that is on it's deathbed.

Thanks for the game, was a lot of fun. I made several mistakes including making too many friends too early and having no end game strategy. In retrospect, I don't really like Kailasa at all and I probably won't be playing them again for a while.

More than reasonable, Foodstamp.

You certainly dished out a lot of damage on the way down and gave me more than one surprise in circumstances where you were clearly outgunned. FWIW, although I am certainly no Dom3 expert, I agree that you had too many friends in the early game. In any game like Dom3 I like to look for one good friend, and one good enemy (in the early game, especially). It looked to me like you lacked good enemies.

Obvious candidates for your enemy would've been T'ien Ch'i, or Marverni, I guess. Had you attacked me while Mictlan was attacking you certainly would've destroyed me, even had you abided by the 3 turn NAP. But you probably knew that already, so as I said take it FWIW.

Thanks for the game!

This game's been dead for over a week... declare a draw?

Well, to be fair, I would say a Helheim win...unless you have a plan so cunning, you could pin a tail on it and call it a weasel.

Indeed, I second declaring Hellheim - Amhazair the winner. He's in control of about 1/3rd of the map, has an absurd amount of heavy hitters and I've got a pretty darn good gage of every other power (with the possible exception of Abyssia), and I'm pretty sure everybody else working together in complete harmony at this point could not stop Helheim with the support of Atlantis.

GG guys!

Again, I need to withdraw from this game. I've lost all interest in it because of the complete lack of hosting, and the fact that Abysia just hosed my main army.

It was a good war though. I thought I was finished when I lost all my ground troops just after taking the fort in Riftwood. And when all those fireproof Jarls showed up. And when you were bearing down on my secondary fortress with Rain of Toads and Wolven Winter.
