Final score shall be around 16900 with gold and faith added. Grotlizard is already above that threshould, so congrats for Grotsnot and Banilizard for their victory.

Subopitmal, thanks for dedlurking me! You did inspire me to do some bold attacks, firstly Utrecht and then for Asilah, both gambits caused us to play for victory till end.

You're welcome! Thanks for taking the driver's seat for this one. Good game overall!

Well played. I cannot tell you how many times we opened the save and said "Norway did what!?" To enumerate the many surprises:

1. Talking Ultrecht
2. taken Achen
3. trying to block us at Gibraltar
4. taking Rome

We would have taken Rome the next turn if your lvl 4 zerker had not come up. We had a siege tower brought up and everything all ready to go.

Again well played. In many respects you two should have had the game for how well you played it. It was only that it went on so long that let us pull out the win.
