To Korbac: Honestly, if you pump up your research, you can do quite well. Those masses of forts would be hard for any foe to conquer, and your nation has tremendous diversity in mages. I've found quite fun in making plans of opponent doom and seeing how they've went. Unfortunately, most of those plans ended badly for me, but the plans certainly helped keep my interest.
To Everyone: Good luck to all but Il Palazzo and Boski! Just kidding: Il Palazzo has been a good friend for the last few turns, and Boski didn't have much of a choice, what with only having me as a border and knowing I would never truly rest after his attack until he perished. So, it's been fun playing with all of you.
