Default Re: Land Rand - Jotunheim Wins!

I assumed Ermor and Mictlan would attack Jotun b/c it should have been obvious to them that any other action would lead to them losing the game.

I think the fatal catch in RAND games is assuming you could just make another grab instead of stopping the clear winner.
Reason is simple, with no diplo on why would anyone risk a losing war instead of making easy gains instead or just turtling. This is even true when it's crystal clear that player A is going to win and all the rest are losing!
Petty wars still rage. Grudges are unforgiven. Opportunistic raids cont. etc.

RAND experience makes help better decisions but experience only goes so far to offset the RAND psychology.
