I've asked Immaculate to request a sub for his position. Turning Patala and Marignon AI and keep on playing the game, neither makes sense nor seems fun to me. I think we could live with just a Marignon AI, but adding Patala, given they together own all the globals and Patala is clearly the leading nation in many aspects, what would left of the game? Hours of AI dismantling and an eventual victory that doesn't seem satisfying. It would be even more fair to just declare Patala the winner, in case we end up in the double AI scenario.

HA HA!
Yes, it's a perfectly valid one!
After all, whose side won at last: Hannibal's or Fabius Cunctator's?

I like also to see it as "Player's morale".
If an army still has 200 units on the battlefield but routs, the battle is lost.
If a player goes AWOL because he started to lose or lose interest, then that considers in my book as "The player is routed" (understand: I broke his will)

Of course, that's not the case here, neither for Patala (who could crush me like a bug if he wants) or Marignon (hey: he just prevents us to use any gem!). So I'll let more experimented players the choice to call it a game or try to save it.

Whatever, it was my first game here and I learned a few tricks (and I crushed Caelum who doubled me with Patala.)

and you learned not to use so many stupid bows. (hopefully- you certainly didn't in our other game)

I've put Ossa in charge of Marignon.

Sorry for the stale!
I seemed to remember I had till 17:57 to send the turn but found it was 17:02 when I got home. Could have played in 10min but the computer jammed, and I received "Wrong turn sent".
Missed for a few seconds, damned!

Oh, no problem. I totally forgot about the timer, as I've been on travel these days.
Patala is set to AI as you may have noticed. So we have many hours of AI grinding ahead of us. I guess we keep on playing this then. Not a scenario that I particularly enjoy, but I've never bailed out of a game. All, remember to send your turns accordingly.

After the thrashing I received this turn, things are looking less rosy...
And this AI grinding ahead of me may well be the AI grinding me... (It has already begun)

I'd like a few more turns however, though not being able to forge or summon is crippling. Will the AI recognize Marignon as his main threat or will it attack indistinctly? That will be interesting times.

Well, you are the most active player in the thread, so I think your opinions certainly counts on evaluating this game.
I'm also curious about what the Patala AI will do. This is the most big AI I've met so far.

On a side note, I will probably set an extra long timer for the holidays, as I will be gone from 25 to 31 and that will give people plenty of time to play their turns.
