Not much for me to say about this one, picked it up on standby, Brek had done a nice job of finding the plow and having 12 druid wizards.  That, plus not having pissed anyone off, allowed me to build a stupid amount of food production, sit back and engage in a massive building campaign.  Sort of my go-to strategy, but it can get old.

I was going to get involved, out of sheer boredom, so I started looking for hidden capitols.  Found the UN didn't find the AM, only searched in the north of Krynn.  The thing was, strategically, attacking the UN right away would have been stupid as he was keeping both Cosmic and Lt Gismo occupied, I think.  I was thinking about taking on Drogo around mid-game, but then for some reason he seemed to join in the fight in the south so Dupont, Cosmic, Drogo and Lt Gismo were all attacking each-other, it seemed rude to bother them.  They eventually flushed Drogo and reached sort of a three-way stalemate, I wasn't sure who was best, so I didn't get involved.

During the last few turns I did finally take the UN capitol and a region from... I'm not even sure who was most present there, maybe Lt Gismo.  I wasn't paying as much attention as I normally do to confed games, so it's a good thing no one attached me early.  Thanks for letting me keep my streak going, still undefeated in Confed, 4-0.

I'd love to hear how the battle between the other players went, normally I would know, I usually track every PC on a spreadsheet so I can see which PCs change hands on what turn and how often.  That way I can see where people are working.

Me and Dupont have to stop meeting like this.  Our last confed game we went at it the whole game and he was always getting the best of me and anyone who stood up to his smelly dragons.   This game I figured I would leave him alone if he left me alone.  But when Windstar dropped it caused a vacuum right next to me and Dupont.  I knew if I let him take the now vacant Mythgar and Untamed Lands that his dragons hunger would not be satiated and I could be next.

So I started the war with the Red Dragon Underworld team expecting to lose but keep him in check at least.  And then the Gnome Amazon team joined in and I thought this is great.  Now I have help against the red horde.  Except I noticed they seemed also to be interested in my regions.  The Amazons tried to sail to my capital but I was ready for them and wiped most of them out.  So I pulled out of the Red Dragon regions and went Amazon Gnome hunting.  After beating them in some other land battles I then went after their regions.  Dupont and I kept going at it till the end but with the Black Dragon and Necromancer attacking his other side he was at a pretty big disadvantage.   I was glad the Cimmerians and Druid didn't attack because I was busy with Duponts armies on the south side of the map most of the game.

When Drogo started coming after me I figured my goose was cooked between him and Dupont so in the end I was happy to take second.  If Dupont was left to fight me alone he probably would have beaten me down again and then duked it out with Senior Tactician for first.

Dupont is deadly with those dragons, that much is certain.  Nice game Lt Gisgo and thanks for the writeup.
