Hm. The game's barely started and you're talking about victors. Let's see:

Most artifacts: probably Utgård & Bogarus
Well of Misery and thus Tartarian horde: Caelums
Most research: Caelum, Bogarus, Midgård
Lots of provinces: Midgård, Marignon (research, gem income, ANGELS), Yomi (recruitable SCs, gem income, RECRUITABLE SCs for crying out loud)

...well anyway, that's just a few of them and please don't anyone start a war against me because I happened to miss/include your nation. But it should be clear that this game's far from settled.

The only reason JM is so fixated on Midgård is the fact his teammate attacked me 20 turns ago, managed to accomplish nothing and now is finally the time I'm in the position to do something in return. I admit, "whining" might've been a bit strong word (sorry, English isn't my native language), but unless Lanka's Master of Propaganda degrees include brain washing even JM must agree his viewpoint is a bit... biased.

Yes, that's exactly right. Everyone should kill Yomi, forget about Midgard Yomi is the real threat here! Dogpile on Yomi Woohoo!!! haha

I'm totally biased. Obviously it's quite common for someone's main army to be annihilated by Wrathful Skies on turn 20, and it's just sheer ignorance and inexperience that allow someone to not plan for that.

I am also probably biased, because I know how powerful Midgard becomes when it reaches a critical mass of gold income, Air gem income, and Blood Slave income. Since only 1 of those 3 items is painfully clear from the Score Graphs, I could totally be imagining the other 2. I am sure that there are plenty of other explanations for the Air based forged items and battle magic that I have seen, and I am also quite sure that if Abysia is the true Blood power of your team (heaven forbid!), that he would never supply you with Blood Slaves, or spam Horrors and Disease Demons at your opponents for you.

It's a good thing that I am either imagining all of that, or I have lost my objectivity due to my knowledge of how to play Midgard effectively, and the carnage that I have already witnessed your team wreaking on others.

So I guess the short answer - yes, I am biased against Midgard and Abysia specifically because while I am quite familiar with what all of the "contenders" are -capable- of, I only fully know what your team has already developed and deployed. But I guess any of the nations that you listed off could have been fighting 3-4 nations at once for most of the game, and making enormous gains with few notable losses throughout the campaign. I admit that level of ignorance.

every single point you've made is clear every single turn from the scoregraph

and you take a really sarcastic position in your writing and post twice a turn... at some point it's just badgering

the thing is... find someone somewhere on the map who isn't midgard's teammate and isn't at war... gonna be hard to do

He defends himself so stringently. And it's hard work to find someone who even seems to care about the obvious in PMs, I decided to broaden my hunt for someone who is willing to do something about it.

My apologies for having ample opportunities to visit the forums, though.
