Dear Big Wife,
Haven't been home in a while due to running amok in the Southern Sands but ran into a bit of trouble here in Synisvania against the Ranger. Somehow his wizards are putting up domes that my thick head can't crack open [I tried, head hurts now].
Not gaining any ground so went back to the city Jukanta to relax. This time BIG Ranger force here. Doesn't look good. Killed my commander last month and looks like will lose both my commanders this time. Not good. Will lose this battle for sure. May not be coming home after all.
Miss ya. Apologies for losing this war...
Giant Regent # 2 or 3 (I lost count)
Note intercepted by Ranger King [Uncle Mike]
Sorry GI but you can thank me some for that,headache  I will be hunting for those little groups you have left......... soon.

Dear Big Wife:
This is my second letter home. It seems some Rangers stole the first letter I sent. Battles and assassinations are all well and good, but postal theft seems even below the honorable Rangers.
You know I will likely not be coming home. Our proud peoples were invaded by so many of the smaller peoples, Rangers and Sorcerers and Black Dragons and Red Dragons, so we decided to hide the surviving women and children and send our army out to remind the world of the power of the mighty Giants.
Alas, it is a cruel world and we have not had much success with that. We did hit the Red Dragons, the Trolls, the Demon Princes, the Black Dragons, the Sorcerers and the Rangers, taking out occasional capitols or cities, but have not really done any lasting damage. And lately, we are having even less success, in part due to those pesky domes and the fact that my leaders keep wandering off to the fields to relieve themselves and end up getting themselves killed by assassins or wizards.
One bit of bright news, though. We did beat that unbeatable Ranger group at Jukanta. Not sure how that happened.
Anyway, give my love to the kids, even though they belong to a king from three coronations back. And even though we have never actually met since I was coronated in the field and were married by proxy, still know that I love you.
Regent of the once-proud Giants

A wild game. I have played alamaze long ago and this is first game in years. I do not recall after turn 25 having all kingdoms still in game this long, only WI dropped early with a region and good set up? That's a kudo's to all.
Many kingdoms have been weakened but not giving up. Fun game with lots of action, good luck all....except Un, nasty habit of killing things off! :

I'm jealous. I love games where there are few drops.
In my experience, players that drop with viable positions do so for reasons that have little to do with the actual game. Forums conflicts, financial reasons, or diplomatic tantrums are most common.

Please do not take any of my comments as a personal insult or as a criticism of the game 'Alamaze', which I very much enjoy. Rather, I hope that my personal insight and unique perspective may, in some way, help make 'Alamaze' more fun, a more successful financial venture, or simply more sustainable as a long-term project. Anyone who reads this post should feel completely free to ignore, disregard, scorn, implement, improve, dispute, or otherwise comment upon its content.

(GI) True in this case also. WI dropped based on rules and learning curve and other issues like that.
Despite the WI dropping, I am one of those kingdoms that has been beaten and mugged and then robbed and beaten again and now living on the edge. But no grudges, this is a fun game. I got to take out a few random capitols.
I am predicting a 40-turn game.
There are two big factions (maybe 4-5 kingdoms each), with a few of us sort of smacked by both sides .
I feel like I have seen activity from everyone except maybe the Gnome. He still around?
Hello Alamaze, I have not received my results for 143 the AN turn 25. I sent an e-mail to support but I have not received a reply. Please send me my turn results as the game is due on Monday.

Cipher and Uncle Mike have achieved great things lately. But sometimes it seems the AN (first kingdom) or WI (last kingdom) sometimes get skipped.
Always post any actual in-game requests to support@alamaze.co as we may not always read the forum, but we generally are pretty good at support.

I'll drop this game now, considering I don't have anything left !
Good Luck to you all

(RD) The good news is that the turn ran and lots of interesting things are happening with 12 active kingdoms. Lost the WI, TR, GN.
The bad news is the evil alliance keeps growing. Isn't 8 out of 12 active kingdoms kind of a lot for an alliance? It used to be roughly 3-4 kingdoms against 3-4 kingdoms....

(DW) I agree. The Noble Dwarves are shocked that so many of the "good" kingdoms have been possessed by the evil Demons.
