LOL. Suboptimal is a nice way of putting it. This is the second time I've put all my hopes on immortal troops - time will tell if I make the same mistake a third time.

Interesting to hear people talk about the lack of E gems - I had no E gem income and that was a problem. The other strange thing is that I only had 4A income (2 of which were from my cap).

I figured early on that clams were going to decide things and Haida is a clamming nation so I played that game, even though I hate clamming. My big mistake was declaring war on Aulgra before I was ready. I rushed it in order to help Nehekhara, but when he cast BoT I called it off - too late to avoid war with Alugra, though.
