[SPOILERS] DaveV: Seriously, Capria?

[DaveV]

Self-quote:

Cairo offered peace again, but that's not happening. If he's invaded on the other side of his empire and all his units are out of position, that will be a real shame.

Boy, did that ever happen. Mack took all but two of Cairo's cities, and poofed his zombies into nothingness, proving once again that the Elohim are Kryptonite to the Sheaim. I'm guessing this is my last turn; I pulled all my units back into my cities to try to avoid giving Cairo the satisfaction of going out in a blaze of glory by capturing a city.



If the other guys are angry at me for facilitating Mack's victory, it was the old story of "what do you do when you have no chance of winning?"

My attitude is best summed up in civ diplo screen fashion:

Mackoti:
+3 our open borders have brought our people close together
+3 we appreciate the years you supplied us with resources
-1 you sniped our horseman

Bob:
+3 our open borders have brought our people close together
+3 you didn't snipe our great merchant
-4 you have traded with our worst enemies

Aurorarcher
+3 our open borders have brought our people close together
+3 we appreciate the years you supplied us with resources
+3 thanks for the enchanted blades

Cairo
-3 you declared war on us
-3 our citizens yearn to join their motherland
-5 you forced us to use the great prophet who was supposed to bulb Priesthood on a pathetically weak golden age
-5 you forced us to waste our disciple of leaves (who was supposed to spread FoL) for a border pop

Or, alternatively: Mack clearly played the best game, so I think he deserves to win. Well played, Mackoti.

Lurkers: I still concede to Mackoti, in case there's any doubt.

Why?
I prepared evrithing so you can have your revenge...

[DaveV]

My catapults were out of range, and I didn't know Bob was going to pop his world spell. Plus about 2/3 of my warriors couldn't take mobility promotions thanks to an autopromote screwup.

But I appreciate the gesture.

How did you know i killed that horseman?

[DaveV]

In that part of the map, it had to be you or Auro. I couldn't imagine that there were any actual barbarian griffons left on the map at that point.
