Noob LA Game: Cataclysm - And Begin!

[Alpine Joe]

Like frozen_Llama said, this game has proceeded through many turns with 5 very equal powers (with utgard slightly more powerful). However in that situation, I am astonished that it comes as a surprise to anyone that any sign of weakness in one of the 5 balanced powers would result in a swarm of attacks. I don't see it as particularly smart planning to pick a fight with a nation as strong as you, or to let other strong nations pick apart a dying nation while you sit on the sidelines.

I agree, Llama, I also prefer no-diplomacy games. However in a no diplo game, a weak player is just as likely to get swarmed.

illuminated One: My blood summons may not cost upkeep, but my mages and troops still do. I spent 10 turns alchemizing to recruit cap only mages, and that is a direct result of Illwinter.
