I've just recently started to fully understand how bad it is with a 7 VP victory condition and all those indy VP provinces laying around. Especially since several nations have good thugs with air magic for cloud trapeze. Many of the VP-provinces have only ordinary independents that can be easily beaten.

It's a little sad, I was looking forward to a long game. I got a good start so I think I would have managed to stay alive a long time.

Yeah i personally forgot how many vps they were. If we end this too fast we can always reload and start again haha.

Yes, Kadelake, I agree with you. That's why I asked for a reset, but it was too late... I'm afraid the 7 VP condition will be reached very soon.

I don't mind so much after all : I just play this game as a training for the next one. And a training against humans is far more fun than a training against AI. My next Yomi pretender will be THE ONE. You can start bowing right now if you please

yeah for me this was mostly training too but we should all work to keep others from winning if we can. I know I will

Obviously, I need much more training. My first battle against Abysia invaders has been a sad and heavy defeat.
Keep them from winning... if you can

While concerned somewhat about the VP situation, I don't think it is as scary as everyone seems to think. There are alot of extra VP's out there, but if anyone gets close it seems the obvious solution is simply to castle all the VP's. It makes it much harder for a lightning win.

Without that possibility, it becomes much more difficult for one player to inexorably win... anyone who gets too strong will likely be attacked by their neighbors.
