Default Subs needed for 2 games

Due to health reasons, I have to bow out of the games I am in, and need someone to take over for me.

Here are the positions:
Heroes of Slight and Tragic: MA Ermor, mid game, decent position, decent research, good gem income, at war with only one nation (Red Woods) and winning, although he just put up Strands which is going to slow things down.

Brats und Bier Bitte: MA R'lyeh, early game, very good position, excellent research and gem income. Currently skirmishing a bit with Sylvania, more to keep the troops busy than anything else.

Both games feature mod nations, in fact I'm the only one playing vanilla ones.

I'm pretty damn newbie (3 games ongoing, no completed games), and haven't played any modded games (No CBM, no etc). But if you can't get a better offer, I'd be willing to either or both.

I do appreciate your offer, and I thank you for it, but do you have positively ridiculous amounts of free time by any chance ?

I ask, and I hope I don't sound too much like an arse doing so, because signing on to too many games is a common new player mistake - I made it too. I know I tend to overthink stuff, but 2 staggered games already seem like a big time sink to me, so 5 at once might be overreaching.
Dominions is a treacherous game in that the first 20 or so turns of a game just fly by ; but then between the diplomacy, the time spent thinking strategery & planning, paying attention to what the neighbours are doing, experimenting this or that risky or new trick in the Debug mod before committing to it "for real", and just generally wrangling with the UI you can easily end up spending multiple hours on a single turn of a single game come mid-game.

So my concern would not be that you're a new player - there are some in both games - but rather that you could end up overwhelmed or burned out on the game altogether.

If it helps, I'm a time lord, so time isn't a problem.

Jokes aside, I'm about to be eliminated in one game, I don't know what the debug trick is, thus time isn't spent on it. You are correct that the games I sub in I'll probably take less seriously, but I trust my own judgement here. I mean, if you get some other offer, take it by all means, but don't go AI when there is a perfectly mediocre me right here. That's ruinous

God, forgot this. Subs have been found, you're off the hook Thanks again for stepping forward regardless !

ETA: now if I could only find the way to edit the thread title to reflect this...
