Okay, well, we can leave it as is for now. It is cool that you are taking such an interest in a game you're not even playing! Definitely you are the best host ever.

I just really want to win, that's all.

I'll calm down about it now.

Um.. is this game over?

I think that Pan/Abyssia have a decent shot, especially if Alneyan is playing Van/Jot.

I think we should keep playing unless the other side doesn't think they have a shot. Both Mictlan and I took major losses last turn, although we're both still very strong.

I have to agree with you CU: from what I do know of Pangaea and Abysia, they have a lot of resources, and should be able to do something to slow you down. I cannot force them to go on though, unless someone else happens to be interested in taking them over.

I believe the main threat (in terms of military power) is Mictlan, but that could be just because I have a much easier time dealing with Ulmish armies (especially when using someone's else battle tactics) than Mictlan elite commanders. Still, I think there are ways to take down those Mictlanese armies... though victory, of course, is another matter altogether.

The game is now over, with Mictlan and Ulm being the winners.

Attached to this post is the archive of all the turns in the game, along with the orders issued by all players (in the case of turn 43, only the turn files are in, as this turn was the last in the game). The master password is Eleanor.

I looked through the turn files from the last turn. That's a nice bit of record keeping Alenyan. Your Awesome. Abyssia was at Blood 9. Pan had a nice 'mid-game' summons strategy going. Van and Jot were dug in. I think though that Mictlan (Also at Blood 9) would have started getting the demon lords before Abyssia. Ulm, in my opinion was underestimated. Cunknown is a great player. He had a steady strategy with earth attacks, and they would only get worse. Also, Tartarian production had begun. With his chalice and exceptional forging capacity, Ulm would be fielding tartarians en masse. Once some pressure was put to Abyssia, it's blood income would diminish and Mictlan-Ulm would have won. This isn't 100%. But I feel confident after looking through the files. Great game. All players put a full effort into the game. This one was so much fun. Jotenheim was a good sport! I did him wrong, though our destinies were not entwined.

@ YC:
Abysia was already quite crippled on turn 43 after Chris retaliated.
There was no way to keep the blood flowing anymore .

Your strat was really awesome.

I browsed the game's turns.
Takes forever to do so. I wish IW will add a replay feature to the game.

My take,
I think Mictlan and Ulm worked out the best pair strategy, in that they complemented each other to make a strong duo.

Also, had I not agreed to that deal with Mictlan (which he didn't respect) game might have turned out differently.
I'm not complaining though, just wanted to put this on the table.

Yep they had the most innovative combo.
Me + Aku wanted to do Pan CW + Ermor we didn't think someone else takes Ermor when Pan is already taken
