200defense on one fort 1000defense on the other
I have 2scouts viewing your area.... but even if my guesses about your troop formations are wrong you could still win in 8-9stales of every other player...
you aren't winning by that much, or doing that well... it's just that this game has the lowest victory conditions of any game I've ever played by about 300% thats why you're so close...
I think that even if EVERYOTHER player except me and you were to stale for 10turns I'd at least have a chance of stopping your victory and even if I failed I'd like to try.... (I really like this concept of ultra low victory conditions and forcing people to teleport to stop a victory makes dom3 less boring)
The point of this discussion is the victory conditions are very odd and I'm not sure everyone is clear on what they are! To illustrate my point... I am still not sure of the victory conditions!!!! rdonj has not cleared stated if you would even win under the circumstances.... it's possible that taking an overlords capital disqualifies you from getting credit from that overlords noncapital fort... or vica versa....
that point of unclarity is the entire reason I bring this up... no one is intending to quit... but the victory conditions are odd, and the victory points are incorrectly appearing on the map... I just want myself and everyone else to know for sure what the victory conditions are... because if no one knew what they were... then the victory IF it ever happens might come as a surprise...
If you truly are a new player as you claim... I would bet on you failing...
Also yes I do appear to be doing fairly well, although I am confident that baalz, atul, or ling could easily defeat me should they concentrate their mental prowess on doing so... I've been telling everyone I talk to I'm sure I'll lose not because I'm trying to "distract" anyone but... because it's common knowledge that eriu is a house early on but totally crap in the lategame
still turns to victory against all opponents staling is the fairest metric of closeness to victory i can imagine feel free to suggest a better one
