Principe - EA Machiavellian newbie game - Game started!

I really don't see why Marverni is so confident... I would say you are marginally ahead of me or Niefelheim, but certainly not at the point where we couldn't win (and that is without a trump card). You aren't able to hold conquered territory and I haven't even committed the bulk of my researching mages (who are reasonably competent battle mages), tartarians, immortal death summons, thugs (who are also still researching)or blood supercombatants. Call these a trump card or not, quantity has a quality all its own, and Niefelheim has no small amount of territory to attack from either.

This all being said, 5 days is acceptable, although with that long of a hosting interval I will have to find a sub or ask for a month long hiatus starting from 7 February to 10 March (work is sending me to where there is no internet).

Don't think I have commited my research mages. They just had a long holiday.

Still, I don't know if I can fight you and Niefelheim at once but I can try.

I'm fine with a break until March, I'd even be in favor of starting it now rather than trying to squeeze in the turns between learning. One or two hours per day doesn't sound to bad but it is bad for my concentration even if I don't play.

Ok, Ulm seems to be gone already, I'll send him a PM.
If he doesn't reply we'd have to look for a sub.

On the other hand I didn't play my turn myself and I'd be really glad for a time out.
So, is everyone ok with freezing the game now until mid-march?
