Sorry, I'm not interested in a game where in 2-3 turns I'll be annihilated.

Jotunheim, Pangea, Mictlan, Ulm, C'tis were all attacking me, after I and Mictlan had a war against Caelum.

So on even if score graphs shows me as having far more provinces than other ppl, it's totally pointless for me to keep playing where I've firstly no more fun to see every turn a dozen of provinces lost and my armies being smashed.

I tried to play when I was *only* against Jotun-Ulm and Pan ... but when C'tis and Mictlan joined I lost any interest.

I'm not so skilled to deal with all those enemies, especially having only national troops and 2 non commander summons.

I'm recreating another game with strange rules however.
Tell me only if I need to use masterpassword to set AI Man or not ... up to the vote of other players. (if master pass works)

Cohen you can not seriously expect everyone else to sit and watch your empire grow to over twice the size of everyone elses and then stop and allow you time to consolidate and be nice enough to attack you one or two at a time. Thats the way the politics of this game work, and thats the way they SHOULD work. Next time you should realize this and cut your growth back in favor of consolidation so you dont become the automatic target.

Don't count on it with Cohen. This is the second game I've been in with him where he was way ahead of everyone in the graphs and then quit. The other one, he was sprawled across almost the whole width of a wrap around map (Orania), with most of it being only 2 to 3 provinces 'deep'. Sure, he was able to expand massively and have 'fun' doing so, but while building an empire that was ridiculously fragile and vulnerable. Soon as people started hitting the weak links - AI. Still in the lead on most graphs.

I've encountered this behaviour from Cohen as well. It wouldn't normally bother me, since I get to choose who I play against, but if I play exclusively on the mosehansen server (which I do) then this privilege is denied to me.

The reason is that Cohen is hogging the server with his games. He starts one, quits early, starts another. At the moment 25% of the running games on mosehansen were started by Cohen.

Esben, if you're reading this, can you think of a solution?

And now he's gone one further - he just stopped this game, because he'd gone AI, and so doesn't want it to count against his quota.

lol. classic

though it could well just be incompetence on Cohen's part - that certainly wouldn't be unexpected

I disowned the game, don't stopped it.
Game is uprunning for what I know.

It was stopped when I looked earlier. And why are you disowning the games? They're still _yours_.

Now you're just being dishonest by trying to remove your name from the games you made.

Rather like going to the bathroom on the floor, and trying to make sure your name isn't there too.

look cohen, esben asked that you limit yourself to 3 games on his server. that surely includes any and all that you have previously started, whether or not you have yet gone AI in them.
