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.  dancing 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?

Congratulations on getting the first kill in the game. How did you break Gav's last stand on the island?

And how is everything else going? It looks like everyone took some cities from Magic but he isn't out of the game yet. Have his GNP and foodhammers been reduced enough to take him out of contention at least? And are we getting close to commandos? If you pre-build enough pikes/etc with 13xp in Reticuli and then storm SD and just raze/pillage while avoiding his cats and non-mounted hitters, you may be able to cripple him enough that you win from there.

You still needs Military Science for Commandos.
The 13 start XP aren't that much - 3 barrack, 2 stable, and 8 from West Point, generals and vassalage/theocracy.
And before railways commando isn't that good. 6 tiles for mounted units ? This still allows a devasting first strike, but...
