The game ended at 921 turns with Man the winner. Indepts still had 2 provinces and 462 units. But since they werent needed for a win I guess its no big deal that Man left them.

I would love to have seen the turn before that. It went from
Man: 185 provinces and 16836 units
Machaka: 114 provinces and 7461 units
in one turn to Man being the winner. It might have been a taking of Machaka's capital and killing its god but since Machaka was playing defensive AI Im guessing it had a lot of army there.

There's only one way that could happen--dominion kill. You can never take a castle in less than two turns.

I have to go do some things now but I will try and look later to see what the last couple of turns were like. They went to 0 then up to 3 so they broke out at least once.

Maybe I should also "roll" the stats.txt to sequential copies also with the scoreboards. Its not much use since it only records who is AI (or human player) each turn. But it would record the actual turn that the AI "killed" a nation from the game.
