Well, I'm not a huge fan of vanilla myself, but that is because Agatha is really handicapped, and I dislike gen generators, but I'm going to stick this game out till someone crushes me.

I will not give an opinion on how strong Agartha is as I do not know the newer nations as well as the classic ones, but you did get to choose at the start.

IMO, the deciding factors in this game have been, to date, the agressiveness/willingness to win (or lack of) of the players, diplomacy & battlefield prowess, in that order.

Gem generators have not given TC his current lead, the above factors did.

Ah well, after being in two CBM games, and this, I know what my choice in the future will be. I'm just having a lot more fun in the Newb game with CBM than I am in vanilla.

Heh, I meant choice of nations, not games. But if you always play Agartha I am cool with that. I also play only a handful of nations.

One of the most effective ways to play Agartha is a bloodstones strat in vanilla... you don't need to, and probably shouldn't, go full blood, just enough to forge one bloodstone a turn.

Yeah, that was one of the most clueless complaints I've ever seen; espescially since CBM makes controlling the gemgen globals even more important.

lol ? I know i can dispel the enchants just fine, but i feel allied to TC, so i wont. What you consider clueless is just a GENERAL complain. I dont care if TC wins someone else does, unbalanced is still unbalanced.

I'm sorry I couldn't see this. I notice that you did not stale, even if maybe it was not your best shot.

For future extension requests please notice everyone that I am in European time zone (GMT+1), and usually I get up at 6:00am, which basically means that any message past 10:00pm will likely not be seen until the day after.

Alternatively, you might try contacting the previous admin as I have not changed his original password.

Sorry again.

It's no problem Wendigo. I don't expect you to check your messages 24 hours a day :P I'm just glad I was able to get a turn in on time.
