Right, you keep thinking that right up until the point where Kashyyk starts mithral-murdering you.

I have no idea where you're getting this mithril idea from.

I think mithril is about as useful as mana, and possibly slightly better due to how you can easily combine it with standard melee/calvary troops.

But once you factor in the fact that it is limited (unless he wants infinite negative food) it isn't really a huge advantage compared to all the mana sources everyone else has.

This falling out between Role and tryrar is going to make the game much more interesting for now methinks.

My only thought on tryrars betrayal is that it wasn't very well done. He had a huge element of surprise in addition to six horsemen, and he spent it all on taking an undefended city that couldn't even produce any troops at all. If it was a little better done he could have both taken the city and either been in Farrum (Role's northernmost city within his portion of the map) with enough troops to keep control of it (since he could have produced troops there, and used the city to get a extra iron source) or burnt down all of Role's lands on his portion of the river.

As is he only gets a single nearly unbuilt 5 pop city, and it is unlikely that he will be able to take Farrum any time soon.

Fuck no he ain't gonna be gettin' Farrum.

Soon as I finish up with the metropolis, my attention's going to Orangeworld. Greenland can have the rest of it's cities, and the war against Ancora, if it wishes. Istania does not take kindly to Traitors.

About time. I think turn 20 was the last time any of you attacked one another (and that was just a light bit of razing).

It looks like we now know how long it takes for a superpower to be toppled on this map with a concentrated effort of the other players.

I was hardly a super power at the time. I'd taken three poorly defended cities, something any one of you could have done if you'd fought one another.

See, 'cept like 2/3 of us didn't have any real military to speak of, and thus no real way to take or defend cities, at that time.

The fact that it took 20 turns for us to reach this point shows that you are were a superpower. Half the game so far has been dedicated to fighting you. That's saying something rather significant.

Now the superpowers are me and Kashyyk; Kashyyk for his very well developed and concentrated lands, me for my Russian approach of spreading far and wide, so that my bosom can encompass as much as possible.

That and Kashyyk has Mithril. And Mithril units.

I mean, damn, how is he still managing to gain population?

Yeah, poor planning on my part, as I thought that was a city that had more than bupkis. Should have gone all or nothing then and wandered into strike range of his capital :P

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.
