Me.

That was my second attempt to try SoAP-based strategy (Strands of Arcane Power).
Now I see that there's no future if your nation hasn't blood-sac.
I supposed that minimum requirements are:
- mages who could use good spells from Evo6-7
- infantry, able to expand early and without support
- income of astral gems

OK.
That was an interesting game.
GL all!

I'm taking care not to breach anonymity but isn't early SoAP coupled with strong dominion bound to anger your neighbors?

Anyway kudos for the courage to try something new

Yeah, was intresting to see it play out, and looking in from the outside it seemed to work at first, (with a quick increase in gem income after casting it, and your mages netherbolting Patala to death) before flatlining, I assume from not being able to expend your dominion into new territory. Heavy dominion is very expensive with regular rainbows too, so I assume you're right about the blood-sac being mandotory. (Never having thought about an early SoAP ploy before seeing you try it.)

Edit: In response to WL: Wouldn't playing a blood-saccing nation allow you to more or less control where you push your dominion and where not, thus keeping your dominion mostly confined to your own borders if you wanted to? (Particularly with middling base dominion.)

Edited again: Has Don_Pablo been completely elliminated, or just gone AI with his last remnants? (For accurate OP bookkeeping.)

One of the players has important RL duties during the next 2 weeks so he asked me to remove the timer for this period. Unfortunately I don't know how to do it or if it's possible at all, so I just changed the hosting interval to 120h:
The hosting interval for ANDalusian_Sun has now been changed to 120 hours, and the deadline for the next hosting has been automatically postponed by 48 hours.
I'll change it back to 72h after 18th if there are no objections.

Well, now another player told me that he won't have any Internet access 18th Oct - 8th Nov, and taking into account he's in major war and doesn't have a good sub, he asked me to pause the game for this period. If you know someone willing to sub, please PM me, otherwise I'll pause the game after 18th.

Some players told me that Bogarus went AI. I don't know the reasons behind this. I think it's possible to try finding a sub and rolling back, but I'm not sure if it's the right course. Anyway, the initial Bogarus player was Calahan, subbed by Maerlande.

I blame no one but game wise this is soooo bad
I think a roll back + sub is the only sane alternative.

I vote for finding a sub and roll back too
