Thanks, I strive to be the most tenacious bastard I can be
It pleased me to no end that your IDs and Earth Kings and whatnot were tied by just two indy priests and a jade sorceress for some turns
(My fort was empty except for those.) But you certainly left me little chance to restore my position after I lost the AQ... Very aptly played!
It was you who attacked me, not the other way around! Admittedly I wasn't paying as much attention at that point as I should have since Ulm going AI and the AI then redirecting against me bummed me out for a bit, so it took a while for me to destroy the AI's second wind; but certainly you didn't expect that when you took the lands the Ulm AI took from Man you wouldn't face any repercussion? I even avoided attacking outside my previous holdings to give you the chance to yield them peacefully
Ah, I just love the misunderstandings the no-diplo causes!
My own initial plans were crushed when Arcoscephale pulled a poison golem (Dom2-style: a golem with a snake bladder) just when I was about to take his capital... That was beautiful.
