[PB78] Underdogs and undercats: The Mrrshan warlords visit the world of Civ IV

Yes, I checked out the game earlier but felt very much out of it and can’t really comment. But it looks like it should be everyone against SD at this point - if you and Dreylin help him kill Magic then won’t he be able to defend against you 1vs2 and still win? Or do you think you can make cheap gains? But if Magic is actively fighting you and Dreylin that seems counterproductive. And also, it seems like you'll need a lot more units to have a say in the showdown.

SD has gone relatively unharmed because he hasn't really engaged -- as I stated earlier, he's been parked on the outskirts of Marathon for almost 10 turns.  I think if there's anytime to sign up with Dreylin, it would be at a time when we've both suffered due to his lack of support.  The one caveat is that Dreylin owes his current competitive status to SD's side-by-side rebuff of Gavagai's monster stack, so that may be a tough bond to overcome.

But maybe, just maybe, Dreylin remembers our time in the Apolyton DemoGame well enough to join me in one last quest.   I'm half-kidding, but we've been pretty cordial all game and both of us are certainly due for a win.  And if he does, I think we have the tools in place to come out on top.

I've been putting it off, but I'll float it out to Drey next turn.

Sounds like things continue to happen. How goes the Mrrshan side of it all?
