You can have any arrangement that you want. The game engine does not however enforce them.

You can share items, gold, and gems via the messaging interface.

I think you can make alliance. It just requires some coordination.

Most of the times I try to agree on a common border.

Other things you can do: trade Magic items, gems.

About alliances I have to say that the world wide alliance against Ermor on turn 20 something is a little tiersome. It's quite difficult to handle. As one would expect.

I don't have a world wide alliance against you... I am only in it for myself. I have no control if others want to take a nibble of your vast empire.

You have already taken the positions of two of the starting players (Ctis who staled to death and Atlantis who was dominioned to death).

I don't have any indies left to munch in my region, so rather than sitting on my butt, I have been (unsuccessfully) attacking you.

I figure that you can afford to lose a couple of provinces, and perhaps that is how you are viewed by some of the other players.

As you are currently leading in provinces, castles, and gems, and near the top in the other catagories (except income of course), I don't see why you don't see yourself as a target for aggession.

Ahh the classic dogpile. Of course, its not really in the REST of the players interest to see ermor dissected so quickly, since you will simply emerge stronger from it.

In fact, maybe one of your neighbours could profit while you are so busy with ermor... hmmm??

Anatoli11,

I find it funny what you did. I now realize that you had perhaps the 2nd most powerful nation in the world. It is unlikely that any other nation in the world could fend off your vast Vine Ogre armies ( and considering their size I am quite sure that you are now making Vine Ogres at a 1 gem per 3 Ogre rate and perhaps with, I would guess around 15 mages ). You could have easily crushed anyone else. My army is somewhat suited to take you on, and I am well castled so it takes more time to kill me.

You could have been a real contender in this game, but instead you attcked the only person who could stand in your way, and a person who holds grudges. I will take you out 1st if I am able. I assure you.

You figure *WRONG*. If I have the chance I will kill you 1st. No doubt about it. I may even not attack Ulm any more. I will try to fend off Marignon, but you are my primary target make no mistake. If I have a chance, and let's be honest you guys are taking it to me, I will kill you.

Perhaps I overstated the number of mages you are using to summon. Perhaps you are only using around 10 ( which means 30 per turn ) ... but 15 is possible. I would have to look at the graph again to make sure.

Well you know where I live... My ogres are shaking in their green booties...

Hey, I'm just playing this game to have some fun and make some friends (as much as you can in a aggresive, back-stabbing, combat-based game).

If your motivation in the game is to kick my *ss from here to Karan, then go for it. I'm a pretty new player (this is my 4th MP game, none completed), so my motivation and tactics in attacking you might not be too sound, but thats part of playing and learning the game IMO. You're an experienced player - come teach me a lesson in winning in multi-player games...

Oh yeah, I think we are all playing for fun here

Huz just likes to focus all his pain and rage on one target, in a cathartic orgy of destruction. And you're IT! Lucky you
