Turns have been getting harder to do for everybody I guess (except C'tis, the isolationnist lizard kingdom?).
I am in no rush either. The best solution would be to let one- or two- week holidays pass by for Jilladilla to rest and if he is still OK, to give a try to victory. I didn't count the Thrones, but you got the Bandar Log one and are about to take one of mine; if you take my other one, will you reach the threshold?
As for me, I am trying desperate stuff. Despite having by far the most research, having forged artifacts nonstop since about 40 turns, having at some point the largest income, turns out I am bad still at the learning stage with MP endgame battlemagic and strategy.
By the way, sorry for the new global. It was just something I could do and it will help a tiny bit against invaders. If you are a non hostile nation and would like compensation, PM me. I do not have gold anymore but I can help with protective items maybe.

This game has always been a slow burn type. Of course it depends on everyone but it is always an option to up the hosting interval to a week or something of the like if we felt it was needed.

[Jilladilla]

If you lot are seriously willing to wait that long I'll probably be able to squeeze out turns (although I'll still make a passing effort to find a sub...)...

Also, for victory reference, I did check, claiming your Thrones, Maramaduke, will not get me the win... And yeah, I did figure the 'bad at MP endgame battlemagic' part out... A few times I've wanted to give you pointers... Held back only because I was fighting you... (Sorry. Will be willing to go over things once the Arco/Agartha war is over one way or another, though.)

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

No real conversation has happened after deciding we would just slow the game down so I have extended the hosting interval to a full week.

[Jilladilla]

Right. I more or less abandoned this and noticed that the sub situation wasn't resolved when I looked back... Trying again to get one.

With the timer as it is, I'll probably have to deliver a quick and makeshift turn in.. I once again apologize to everyone here.

[Marmaduke]

I was thinking Vengeful Water would be more efficient.

[ThtblovesDF]

You need that good dominion... it works well vs human commanders, but everything around this place is buff as fuck.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

So it doesn't disappear into the PM message afterlife, All remaining players have agreed that the game is finished. One or two may still play around with the shambling husks that are AIs but otherwise Good Game.

[ThtblovesDF]

My late game can be reduced to "Oh I am super prepared for war" "Oh no, the others prepared, too." Ya'll are just to good.

[Wysthric]

I'm not sure what's happening but who was the victor?

Draw on account of loss of play inertia

[ThtblovesDF]

Arco might have been fought back by everyone working together - but only to a degree, just like emror. Once he was small enough (or even died), we would once again have countless nations that all border each other and the most dangerous once would be ripped apart from to many sides, with to many different tactics.

A tactical stalemate that is made even worse in dominions 5, by the recruitment point limits.

[E. Albright]

Oh no, don't you dare cite Ermor as an existential threat that everyone banded together against. All y'all brought this squarely on yourselves. If I was responsible for the eventual stalemate, it was only because I gave everyone who bordered me an excuse to let everyone else who bordered me turtle and hit endgame research. Arco had me contained on their front with minimal effort (and was gradually pushing me out of old TC, but not in an obvious, "look at me, I'm expanding" kind of way), and my strictly-limited size kept me from getting enough gems to ever make anything of myself once turn 30 or so passed - everyone else had lots of mages and meaningful research, while I had blobs of chaff and scant handfuls of illiterate, home-schooled mages. I was an existential excuse, not an existential threat.

[Jilladilla]

Draw on account of loss of play inertia

Sounds about right. Last I checked while I was still going strong in my fight against Arco, one more heavy loss would have likely set me on the defensive for a while; although I do not see Arco counter-pushing into my caverns. The efficacy of his Golem Supercombatents vs my Living Mercuries has already been established as... Subpar... And any nation with strong Earth is set to just delete armies that try to push into their caverns. But for how long I could have maintained that? Is a question for another day, it seems.
Basically, I could've won, but at the same time, I do see a possibility where the tables end up flipped. Good match, Marmaduke.

I've perished in the global enchantment wars, before the real wars started.
