Hi, I'm sorry for that and for the delay answering.
It's Final exam time, and I'm busy with that.
Since I have already lost (Tien'chi communions are too powerful for me :S) I wouldn't mind about becoming AI or just surrender.
It was a funny game anyways. 
No problem! My apologies if I seemed a bit short-tempered, but I've seen games ruined by major players dropping out without even an "I have IRL stuff going on got to leave sorry bye!" For what it's worth, good luck on your exams. Mine are already over, so I've got that burden off my shoulders
As to my communions, from my perspective, every time one of my armies has fought any significant force of yours, I've collapsed utterly. (Admittedly, the last one might have gone better for me had I not shot myself in the foot with Rain of Stones). I've built probably over a dozen thugs over the course of the game (impressive when each thug costs 50-60 gems to outfit, I would think), of which three survive. Things have been going more smoothly for me now that I have big endgame spells, but I still can't deal with an army of cheap thugs, or so the trend has been anyways, and can only mitigate Thunderstrike spam.
If you want to sub out, would you mind continuing to play until I find one? I can extend the turns if you need more time, for studying or whatever else*; I'd just prefer not to see you stale into oblivion if a sub takes a few days to show up.
It has been fun - you've certainly been a worthy opponent!
*I'll take this last opportunity to say that if you guys need some extra time for a turn, just ask. I won't bite, I swear.
