Hey, I was still playing!

I think that any one of us 4 remaining could have a shot at winning. Well, I suppose Ryleh is going down, but that's because she's being double-teamed.

Edit: I just re-uploaded my turn. I believe that prevents me from going AI, right?

I agree to a draw if everyone still playing agrees to it. I have to say that Ulm looks to be leading right now, but since Ryleh is losing power and since Arco and I (Pangea) are working together, Ulm's victory is far from certain.

arco has 66 provinces to Ulm's 83, but has the highest income of 1757, with pangea being second w/ 673. Granted, of the top 4, arco has the smallest army, but personally i think income is king.

I didn't realize arco had a 1757 income.. that is obscenely high for this game. I mean.. he probably has money available to actually spend on stuff!!! Whenever I want to buy something, I have to alchemitize fire gems... what is your secret, arco?

Money in late game is almost worthless...even more so in this fubared game. Magic items, gems, SC's and domain are what rule late game.

Im sure Pangea and Arco would have teamed up against me and it would take another 50 or so turns to figure out a winner. So how bout you take this game down Zach and start a new one.

Zachariah · #**185** November 1st, 2007, 02:48 PM

hehe... consider it done.

I know for fact that Peter (Arco) does not want game ended, and think he can win. I gave nation BACK to him, because I got injured, and I am on medication. _Who_ wants game ended? I enjoy watching turns. Arco just started a final push with R'lyeh.

CUnknown · #**187** November 1st, 2007, 09:48 PM

I'd like to continue. I'd also like not to be turned AI.

Tuidjy · #**188** November 1st, 2007, 10:38 PM

I most definitely want to continue. At least until *%!@*$%#! R'lyeh is dead and
buried. And it will be. People should be taught that casting Armageddon is not a
recipe for success. It's a shame that the land nations did not work together
to eliminate him (I was not here, so I do not know why) but since I took
the nation, I have cleaned him from one ocean and from Maverni's former lands,
and as of this turn, hold a province next to his capital.

I think that each of us, except for R'lyeh has a chance to win the game. Pangaea
and Ulm may be stronger than my nation, but I'm enjoying kicking mindflayer butt.

Oh, and I am no sub. Nick took over for a while, but a branch caught up with his
car, so I am back on Arco's helm.

Tequilich · #**189** November 1st, 2007, 11:04 PM

Heck I guess I would like to finish it out if others do too.

I don't know, Tuidjy, you are in pretty good shape if you still have a nice income. I disagree with the idea that money isn't worth anything anymore, I would give anything to be able to build white centaurs again. Without money, Ulm and I are forced to rely on just summoned units. I mean, summoned units are great, but it would be better if I could add sneaking groups of white centaurs to the mix. And if I could recruit Pans again.

I think with Gift of Health I am in good shape as far as not dying, but as far as winning goes, I'm really not sure.

So, I am up for a draw if all players agree. If we continue, I am supporting Arco against the hated races of Ulm and Ryleh! If I ever find myself in a position of being able to push against Ulm, I would try to win for myself, as well.

Edit: Oh, about the reason why we didn't gang up on Ryleh-- we tried, we really did. But, Ulm and I were geared for war just before all this Ryleh stuff happened. I thought I had a pretty kick-*** midgame army, and he was the largest nation out there, so I wanted his land. At first, my plan was basically to ignore Ryleh as best I could and focus and Ulm. I mean, I helped in the dispel attempt, but when that failed, I foolishly decided to continue with my plans to attack Ulm. I mean, I had an all land army, and Ulm had no border with Ryleh, so I thought it was okay to do so.

But, that changed when the Armageddons started. I had just won a battle against Ulm, so when I offered him peace in fear of the armageddon, he accepted. So, everyone was geared up to strike against Ryleh (some already were doing so), but then the Sea of Ice went up. We dispelled it, and were able to get some units underwater, but then it went up again with tons of gems in it.

We actually got enough underwater to defeat Ryleh, I believe, and they are doing their holy work underwater as we speak.. but then Ulm attacked me. Ulm at this point has grown rich and powerful off his huge stretches of land, and he really still is in excellent shape to win.

Everyone else got frustrated and lost morale due to the constant armageddons, more or less that's the way it went, and they turned AI. I lost morale too, and staled a ton of times.

So, that is how the game went, according to me.
