Suricate - pbem LA newbie game - (Running)

"making life miserable for the opponent"

Thats the way to fight a war 5 against 1 (when you are the one). I never give up and fight until the end - guess who dispelled again this turn...

I'll try to explain my point of view but english isn't my native language so I hope you will understand what I say:
- this game was a lot of fun. It was my first MP game on this forum ( I've already played 3 MP games on a french forum ) and it was the first time I survived long enough to see the late game ( tartarian everywhere, quite scary! ).
I also discovered a nation that I never played even in SP game: pangaea. Their late game sucks but they have wonderful troops, I should have taken an other pretender.
- I understand both tharsonius and holyfrog's point of view about diplomacy so I won't try to reconcile you
- anyway, I'm losing interest in this game: I know that that I don't have a single chance to win ( I got a glimpse at utgard's capital and it's really impressive ) but I still have a great empire and my turns take a lot of time to play. Utgard send me approximatively 2 horrors and 4 disease demons each turn and the greatest part of my commanders are horror marked or insane. With astral corruption up, I fear that this game will become more and more frustrating.
So, I'm very close to set myself to AI but I don't want to leave c'tis. What can I do? I'm ready to admit that utgard won.

Obviously Utgard won. I´m just playing now. If more of us are bored we can call it off.
Disease demons were to my way too but they couldn´t kill the tomb kings.
If you want to keep playing I´ll keep too.

My starting position is really bad. No province makes gold so I was poor for the full game. I couldn´t afford normal troops so only bought mages. And not every turn. Even when my scales werent that bad. Luckily at the end game that´s not all important.
