This game was nuts. Every time I opened my turn, I had 7-8 battles on my PCs and a handful of enemy emissaries taking things. The only one who left me alone was the Tyrant, so thank you for that. And the Fairy Folk were mostly absent from my regions. But the other 4 kingdoms were all up in my business. Even at game end, there are 9 groups at my PCs. Anyway, I got to finish with 4 regions and 8 legendary castles, 25 prisoners (mostly princes), and I think I was in the lead pretty much from the beginning. The Nomad is a well balanced kingdom and was a lot of fun to play.
Congrats to all who played and finished.

Congratulations to Vball for your dominating performance in this one. I knew of your many recent victories and dreaded you being one of my immediate neighbors. I figured around T20-25 or so that I'd be fighting LI as he had 2 big army groups just across my Southern border. At that time you got your 4th region and declared war on him before anything happened between us. I greatly appreciate that you went after the experienced player instead of the noob even though you knew that I'd be a far easier target than Windstar. Others attacked you at that time (you did, after all, already control 4 regions) but DK and FF soon began attacking each other instead of you. I was hoping to get a mage to L8 before coming in on the LI side (didn't want to give you an easier win by hitting him) but failed on 4 tries and just jumped in anyway. By then there were only a handful of turns left so the goal was to make you go the distance and get some more experience against a monster player. Fortunately you were occupied elsewhere and spent little time fighting the chihuahua nipping at your heels. I learned quite a bit in this game.

Congratulations once again!
