Congratulations to Senior.
 Unfortunately there were early drops in this game which totally screwed it up.  I had CI in Darkover and NE in Sword Coast.  First player to drop, which I think was around turn 3, left Triumvia and Pelinor empty.  I moved on Triumvia and Cosmic Wizard had the same idea with his RD and DU.  We fought the whole game and I never could land a death blow.

I tip the cap to Cosmic who showed fine play and used all aspects of the game well.  It was sometimes frustrating, he played so well.

There is nothing good to say about the guys that drop without a fight.  No respect gained there guys.

Well, it was a hollow victory.  Windstar didn't enter a single order, something must have happened to him.  His kingdoms dropped turn 3 which left a hole in the middle of the board.  Strongwill's will was not strong, it looked like he stopped entering orders not long after windstar dropped, and when Drogo came to his regions, he just dropped as well.  When that happened, and drogo was working on 6 regions before turn 20, I still had zero troops.  I didn't expect to have to fight so soon.  So I threw all my emmisaries at him while I summoned some specters... delayed him long enough for him to realize he wasn't getting my regions for the quick win (due to several legendaries)... so he dropped too.  It took me a bunch of turns just to clean up 8 regions even though no one was playing them.  And since I had no real armies I had to burn down stormgate from a legendary castle to ash and take cornicopia for the win.

But... I couldn't give up!  Like Wookie said, despite the boredom, I have a streak to protect.  I am undefeated in confederation games 3-0.

Cheers,
Senior T

Wow, calling people out now in forums? Cool. Yeah, I wanted to restart the game, as it was a Confed game and with an inactive player being dropped on T3 it left the game screwed no matter what the outcome. I pretty much stopped doing some orders while waiting to see if the turn would be filled by a standby player. It wasn’t, and the open area was taken in a turn, so it lost its draw for me. Sorry about that for you Tac, but it appears it worked out for u..

Hey I don't blame you bud, I'm just busting your balls.  I knew that if you were actually playing the game you'd have done very well.  I was most worried about you from the begining.

I could have taken over 2 kingdoms.

[Senior Tactician]

I could have taken over 2 kingdoms.

We tried to get Dupont in for Windstar but because his kingdom timed out after three consecutive turns of not entering orders, Unclemike could not "restart" the kingdoms.  Apparently, it only works if the person manually drops the game.

I know bro, your a ball buster!!!  Lol.  I actually needed my kingdoms to have been switch on regions, and as usual the beginning set up blew.  I wanted to go at you early and was hoping Drogo and windstar would have kept each other busy, but once that void happened I had no doubt you would roll in a few turns with those two kingdoms.

[Senior Tactician]

LOL when Windstar dropped I was hoping YOU would keep DROGO busy!  I like to simmer a while before I start cooking.  The SO/WA combo was not as fun as I had hoped, they are just too similar, no real synergy there.  I was really happy to see the UN in Untamed instead of Mythgar, I figured that meant you intended to go North instead of West
