Better late than never.
Thanks everybody for the game. Congratulations, Renojustin .
It was very interesting experience. And as for me it was not military but diplomatic lesson mainly. And I would hardly believe anyone claiming about his weakness/bad position next time.
Also I must say it was my first late-game and there was a moment when I had a few ideas what to wait from opponents and what to do myself.
Reno, be sure you are a good teacher!

Oh it was definitely touch-and-go there for a while, but I wasn't in so much of a BAD position as a titillatingly unfair one.

3 on 1s aren't very fun to be on the recieving end of, and it could only happen in a game as small as this - otherwise there would have been a free nation or five to take on the guys throwing resources away on attacking me and only me... of course, they paid for it in the end; with no research, no military progress of any kind, with no searching for magic sites, they were completely helpless when I got my feet back under me. And that was pretty darn satisfying.

Congratulations on the win Reno. We had a good pace, I'll definately sign up for more games in the future. Hope I'll see any of you guys there!

Congratulations Renojustin,

I know you were disappointed that three of us had to conspire against you early on, but the lead you shot to in the first 12 months was more than double any of us so it called for drastic measures. Llamabeast intimated that this is expected when one player takes such a commanding lead at the start. Anyhow, well done.

As far as lessons are concerned, overall I enjoyed the gameplay immensely and learned heaps but to be honest the dummy-spit tarnished the overall experience for me somewhat. I've signed up for another multi-player game at present to see if this is normal or an aboration. If it is par for the course then I suppose I'll just have to get used to it or play single-player. Reading some of the other multi-player games there does seem to be an element of personality clash and angst at times.

Biggest lesson game-wise for me was that my Pretender construction ability is abysmal so I need to hone these skills a lot.

Anyhow, thanks for the game everyone. Good luck with your next game(s).
