Well, I utterly crushed Jontunheim's invasion of my capitol and he has now gone AI. At least he is not staling every turn like the other three are.

The only players left in this game still moving is Cainehill, Lebarjack, and me. So I will send a PM to Cohen asking him to bury this game once and for all.

On a side note, I was amazed by the power of Vanheim. I had a positively horrid starting position and was simultaneously invaded early on by two of the strongest nations in the game. I expected to die quickly. I even told TC and Jontun that they could ignore our NAP take my undefended provinces along our border, which they both did. I sent all my artifacts other than those on my pretender to Marignon since he was helping me by fighting Pythium. I sent him some gems too.

But despite all that, I did not die. I crushed multiple invasions from both Mictlan and Pythium. I decisively won battle after battle against them both. Of course, Caelum eventually saved me somewhat by later invading Mictlan, just as Marignon had helped by invading Pythium.

In the end, after both those nations quit playing, I then had to fight off Jontunheim with his numerous Neifarl SCs and giants and summons and constant send horror spells against my commanders. But I crushed all that too with barely a scratch.

And this was with me selecting poorly on my scales, having four horrendous bad luck events in the first ten turns, and being totally clueless on how to play Vanheim.

My conclusion? Vanheim is definitely one of the strongest nations in the game.

Strangely enough, I ended up enjoying this game more than I thought I would.

Cheers to all.

Game has been stopped as requested.
In case of need it's possible to restart it (if there was something wrong) however.

This game no longer has an owner....when I was looking at it, it gave me the option to bury it. I did not, but I assume from the most recent (Last month) conversation that you are all done with it?

Thanks for the note, Verjigorm. I had forgotton about this game. Though I was not the owner, I went ahead and buried the game. It is history now.
