So who's winning?

Aku · #2 August 5th, 2004, 01:23 AM

Well with Drool(Ulm) disappearing without an explanation and going AI shifted things a lot since he was one of the major empires. Pickles(Jotum) seemed to get most of Ulm's lands but my spies have seen a massive invasion by Ermor onto Jotum's lands(at some points Ermor I think is only two provinces away now) and I am not sure if Jotum can win. I(Mictlan) have been rebuilding all the land I conquered from Abysia and am on the other side of Jotum. And Klatu(Man) I have no clue wtf he is doing, he is just in his corner of the world.

Basically too soon to say who is winning. Jotum may get crushed by Ermor or who knows maybe the same can happen like with me and Abysia who was at my capital and I pushed back and emerged the victor.

It is ok Pickles. We did get a lot of turns done Last night.

Well Pickles you probably saw the gank coming on especially since you basically conquered all of Ulm's lands. 5 provinces alone of his was taken during the two stale turns and you are seiging his Last castles. So yeah you are the current superpower. Ermor invaded you and you are the only person I can attack so its like my only option to expand.

Victim of my own success & Boron's deciding me & him v the rest would be too easy (& bad for him as I was stronger. Mind as Man is merely a snack while Mictlan is crunchy who knows?

The stales had nothing to do with it (Well I suppose he got to definitely rather than possibly lose his army). He was in a very weak position not the vapmire wielding superpower we feared (that is me

). I should have allied with him - but he was so weak he probably would not have helped (same as Caelum - you need to be strong to be of any value as an ally other wise you are just warm up for the big game.

I am now in the position that he was - everyone is against me. It is not much fun & is a problem with other games of this nature too (diplomacy etc) that I now refuse to play as board games.

Plus the guessing game of chasing armies around is also not very much fun - it is what I loathe about SP Of course in SP you are there from the start however you can learn to second guess the computer.

Anyway it is a learning experience (or I would have attacked Abysia on turn 7 or so)& I am learing about the horrible death disease things that you canot catch plus the variety of SCs and how you can defeat 300 undead & taks -2 casualties (except the stupid sages who stood at the front - should have stayed in the lab guys)

Hmm still bashing stuff is fun if you ever catch it.

Anyway it is interesting. I think Man is dead Last & Ermor probably has the edge over Mictlan so you may yet have to realign - Ermor could gobble up Man then Mictlan if the war with me is even.

Thrym for a little while longer

Well one thing for Ermor to get to me he has to go through you Pickles lol. Yeah he could probably gobble up Man but who knows also. I just recovered completely from my Last war and basically just harrassing your borders while you are distracted by Ermor.

But anything can go anywhere I think. I believe this is going to be an incredibly long war. Also whoever invades me is going to take a lot of time because you guys probably know from your spies(I know you have spies in my land Pickles) that I have ALL my provinces castled.

It is going to probably turn out in a 3 way(Mictlan, Jotum, Ermor) with reestablished borders and maybe Man will get some power later on and join in lol.

I suppose we just have to wait and see what happens.
