You gonna team up with me?

I'd like to lurk whatever game is next, if there will be enough players.
Not that this hasn't been fun; I've enjoyed this match more than any Civ game from the past five years or so.

Preface for Scooter and CH for whenever they read this- I'm hardly an expert at this game, and don't intend to be patronizing, especially considering our team hasn't actually won yet.
I do think that CH and Scooter should each have focused more on a particular unit.
For CH, it's Wagons- we are (currently) winning due to a variety of factors including the early Treb build and ignoring inefficient units for a moderate income map like Knights and (to a lesser extent) Archers, but a major factor has been my ability to greatly extend the reach of your units with Wagons and quickly consolidate our forces. CH really ought to have skipped a couple of those Archers, who for all their annoyance probably haven't even earned back their gold cost yet, and instead built some Wagons to help out Scooter. Scooter never really had a chance to capture the village in the lower central front after you sniper it with a random Wagon-driven Infantry, but there's no reason it couldn't have been CH boosting Scooter first, taking advantage of them both playing before me in the turn order.
For Scooter, he needs more Mages. There's a reason his CO is the King Wizard of Wargroove or whatever, it's the game trying to remind you that a power that gives his units +3 defense in a large radius is also giving his Mages a crit bonus in said radius. Crit Mages hit very hard, enough to one-shot over half the units in the game and do serious damage to everything else; even Giants lose over a third of their health on average. The lousy Mage defenses don't matter so much when they're being bolstered by 30% and whatever they attack won't be in shape to hit back hard on the counter. He built a second Mage last turn, despite my still having only a single air unit, so perhaps he's come to a belated realization... may be too late to matter, though.

I'm actually interested in joining the next game if there's a spot.

Good. Got a post in the main thread for decision on type of game? FFA? 2v2? FoW? im up for whatever.

Still waiting for Scooter to move, but CH went all-out attacking. Didn't actually kill much, but he did knock your Giant down to a single HP and flipped one of your villages neutral. This turn will be a bloodbath, but we should come out in a stronger position than we had going in.

Haha, never mind, they conceded! Should have checked the general Wargroove thread first. GG, guys!

And in the grand tradition of spamming our thread...
It was a real pleasure to work with you, SD 
Happy to team up again sometime... although it might be more fun to face off on opposite sides
