As the FO I had an eventful game. 

I came under attack from the DE very early on and then the RD the turn after. A big loss came shortly after when I got my military caught in the plains by the RD (I really didn't think he would intercept - he did), resulting in a total loss of troops. The UN later ambushed the RD and the DW moved on the DE, allowing me some breathing room. I hid in my hidden capital and developed agents and wizards, resulting in numerous kidnappings and a few artifact thefts (I kept trying for the gem, but the UN kept teleporting out of range, bah). I had just begun my comeback, taking Diamond Coast and Nyvaria on turn 29 when the SO won it.

Cool. I think the Gem of Planes is the most powerful artifact on the board. Its like a power 8 wizard, and its order number 729 allows groups to transfer after move unlike a magical teleport. Plow used to be the best but it got nerfed and now everyone has 8 plows.

Ah, the sweet taste of triumph! 

From the shadows, I bided my time, building my dominion in silence while the rest of you scurried about like ants. By turn 18, my dark empire had amassed a production of 130,253 food and 406,065 gold at my capital—a veritable hoard of power at my disposal. With my coffers overflowing, I turned my attention to the arcane arts, elevating my mages to formidable levels of mastery, each one a harbinger of doom.

The lumbering Giants rampaged across Zamora, Mythgar, Untamed, and Nyvaria, crushing all in their path. I knew that once the Giants had gained control of the Untamed Lands, I would be their next target, so I made my move without hesitation. Yet, they were but clumsy fools, blind to my machinations. With Revelations, I tore away the veil of secrecy from my enemies, avoiding their pitiful armies while striking where they were weakest. I swept across the regions like a plague, claiming lands with precision and malice, all while my High Priestesses used their dark mastery to shadow the Giant and Dwarven armies, anticipating their every move and ensuring their efforts were in vain. With their aid, and the secrets I unlocked, I ascended to immortality, solidifying my dominion over Alamaze and casting an eternal shadow over the land.

Well fought, mortals. Enjoy the newfound peace that now blankets Alamaze, for true power has finally been wrested from the clutches of those insufferable do-gooders. Balance has been restored under my reign, as it was always meant to be.

Ebenezar Blackstaff McCoy, Sovereign of Shadows
