I could have stayed in slavery forever and whipped down, but I was not at tech parity and CKNs + Knights would wreck anything I had, even if I stayed in slavery. Commodore nearly had knights, had CKNs, and I had ancient garbage. On top of that, Com smartly picked Guerilla 2 for most of his CKNs which enabled him great flexibility in my land. To boot, I was behind for most of the game due to bad starting techs and never really caught up. I don't think I had great land either on top of the fact I've never personally been able to leverage PHI that well. I ran a gambit to try and catch up and well, that's that.
I had a brief opportunity to pressure Commodore around T55 while he was busy with Pindicator, but it was not clear at that point who was in the lead or if pressuring Commodore would let Pindi start to run away. Pindicator had impressive demos at that point. If I had the chance again, I would do the same thing again.
Truth be told, once Commodore won his war against LT, I was finished.
