Troubling Times: Game over, Marverni wins

[Numahr]

I am ready to concede to Marverni, congratulations to Amhazair who makes a distinguised come back!

That was first time I got into late game. BoT + early wars with my neighbors had a very deep impact on me, and paradoxically, maybe more so against AI Nief through two disastrous battles than against human-controlled Lanka who was a fierce opponent but never inflicted me a disastrous victory. This meant that I did not have the means to take a conflictual stance with Marverni when it could have been strategically relevant to do so.

I was about to declare war, hopefully with Mictlan, now that Caelum had recovered, after the conquest of Ctis would allow me a better strategic position. Arcane Nexus was obviously the trigger to stop good neighborhood. But i was aware that this war would come too late (more so considering I would respect NAP) and would just be for honor, not for the win, and would probably just be an opportunity for Marverni to gather a nice collection of enslaved Amesha Spentas and Eagle Kings...

Also I witnessed Marverni's rise to power since its very early war against Bandar Log, and it definitily was a very nice showcase, well done!
