RBP3 - [SPOILERS] - Team DIM (Mehmed of HRE)

[novice]

Ilios and I just had a little chat in gmail. But I'll sumarize for MB and all the lurkers who actually read this thread:

Thanks, we try to keep up but it's a bit spotty with 16 teams to follow.

1. Frustration over loss of settler continues to be frustrating but will only further prove our glory when victory happens.

Absolutely.

3. Diplomacy is a bitch in a game with this many teams. We both would have preferred PB3 and PB4 to happen with half the teams each. (Added benefit, another game to lurk) That said, massive kudos to Ilios for handling the bulk of our diplomacy!

Well in this violent world hopefully the number of teams will decrease rapidly.

4. Ilios pointed out that we may be able to gain back some ground if we can stay out of any serious military conflict while expanding with a thin (tho not too thin) army. Personally, I will feel pretty good once we can actually get an army if we need it. I.e. connecting copper and then horses.

Yep. You do seem to be located some distance from the front lines.
