In case interested lurkers are unaware (doubtful), the game essentially ended ignominiously about 7 turns ago in a cascading dogpile. I have now been carved up by Gawdzak, Seven, and now Mackoti. This happened about 20 turns sooner than I would have guessed, but the 3 main powers didn't descend into global war elsewhere. I was about 60 turns from any chance at a CV, but it was fun while it lasted. I don't think I had a victory chance higher than 1%, but I went for what I thought was the best path to achieve that.
I don't think that I would have been able to meaningfully keep up proper defenses versus Seven and Gawdzak if I kept up research. Long long coastlines would require defenses everywhere and I would not be able to keep up with the production Gawdzak, let alone Seven, could muster. My production had been pitiful all game. Needless to say, I don't think I could have withstood a meaningful onslaught from Seven anyway as he would eventually out-tech me and produce more of those advanced units than I could.
I was also essentially waiving a big sign "I Only Have Rifles" to my neighbors with cossacks, air units, destroyers, and machine guns.
So ends Kuro's...Bizarre Adventure.
