This one just ended. Congratulations to Draugr on another win. This was a fast, two day game with 1 ally allowed and allied communications allowed outside the forum.
This was a very unusual game for me and my LI in Sword Coast. Painted Man's HA in Zamora sort of flirted with me early but Ashgar's BL in Zanthia actually offered alliance and I was glad to join him. Draugr and his DU in Krynn had joined Rellgars IL in Triumvia and P.T. Riley and his RD in Mythgar were working with Dupont's TY in Untamed against a new player in Pellinor who seemed to be by himself. At least that was the appearance of things from my position.
BL and I went after RD in Mythgar on turn 8 and he was quickly conquered. We were moving on TY when HA attacked me through the back door, angry that I had rejected his earlier advances. He was a very tough opponent. With great effort and help from ally BL, we were getting things stabilized in Sword Coast and Mythgar when DU and IL attacked us and everything went downhill quickly. They had 20 turns to develop their magic without interruption and we paid the price. We lost both regions.
In the meantime I was able to come to a truce with HA and begin a little recovery. My well protected capital never did fall. Brek with his well developed AN position in Nyvaria was fighting Rellgars IL in the north and offered to keep me supplied if I would care to ally with him. I don't think I have ever switched allies before but BL was all for it if it would help slow IL.
After many turns Brek was doing well and I had taken quite a few villages in the north. The towns were mostly too well defended for my meager forces. DU had held enough regions for the win for many turns but was waiting for his ally to get 4 regions to join him for the win. It just was not going to happen as IL had angered too many players and was fighting an uphill battle.
This was just a battle of survival for me and though I finished next to last I fought 3 of the games best in Painted Man, Rellgar, and the winner, Draugr. It was also great fun to play with Ashgar and Brek for the first time and make a couple of new friends. It just shows that you don't have to win to have a good time. Sometimes just hanging on and being a thorn in the side of your attackers has it's own reward.
Well done Draugr. Thanks to both my allies, Ashgar and Brek. HA, sorry I left you alone in the corner. Boy did I pay a price for that! Thanks everyone for another fun game.

I think more that it's because we (the HA) are decent at everything, but it's a hard sell to explain that we truly shine at economics, especially in light of the lack of bounty until after our assured max level.
