Well I for one don't think I can stop Mictlan.

I for one think this game's been a joke for a while now anyway. This is just like the earlier try we had (whichever it was that we actually played, 3 or 4?), except this time instead of two players having too good positions to begin with, there's just one.

In retrospect, it would've made a world of difference if I had started in the BIG sea rather than the small one, while most other stuff would've stayed the same. Mictlan wouldn't have grown into the sea and to the other side of it and whatnot.

I think Glory is a problematic map. The SE corner can really only fit 1 nation (if there are 2, 1 of them is hosed depending on how fast the NE land nation expands south), and because of long coastlines the efficacy of a land nation's success depends greatly on how far from the coast it is.

Also, LA is naturally weird with water because instead of 3 UW-start nations there's R'lyeh, Mictlan, and Atlantis (plus Ermor kind of).

Also, due to unexpected internet outage I am forced to ask for +12 hours to the turn.

Guys... How about instead of continuing this, um, "game", we just call it quits? Considering that one nation has done again what happened in Doomsday 4, took over a massive number of provinces when they were INDIES and thus became nigh invincible (only compounded by the fact that Mictlan gets a ton of national blood summons) while others couldn't do the same due to being placed on the map in a bigass cluster, this game has lost any fun factor Dominions games tend to have.

Basically, this game's been another case of too few players on a too large map with too random start locations.

My turns take quite a while to do so if you don't want to fight on I would be willing to end the game.
