At about the point where i met you guys (rushed towards Astronomy for trade routes and new land) i had started to seriously suffer from lack of room, and frankly, my starting land sucked ... while it might have let me farmer gambit without military threats (specially since i got early fog busters out so i never saw any barbs, but animals), I would have dropped like a stone if i hadn't gotten both of you to open trade routes (which was about half my total commence for quite some time)

Twinkle lost because he started too close to Mardoc. Mardoc lost because he did a mid game land grab, crashing his economy without restricting Ruff. Sian lost because he spent his research power on Biology, Physics and Communism. Ruff didn't lose because he spent his research power on Steam Power, railroads & Combustion.
I have finally decided to put down some cash and register a website. It is www.ruffhi.com. Now I remain free to move the hosting options without having to change the name of the site.

my loss wasn't because of Biology/Physics7Communism ... it was because i ended up in a quagmire against Mardoc which drained my protential resources which i was excepting to get from Communism (intended to get held afloat by a few farms here and there), from getting knocked out of State property twice (and the Anarchy's needed to get back into it)
