[NO PLAYERS] And no cell phones ether!

There's not enough time to kill everyone in this scenario so it will be a race for score. I like CMF+Archduke because of this...
At least the other teams are aware of the danger. This still seems impossible to beat:

Played at Emperor diffculty same as soon to come mulitplayer and I expect Chevalier/TheArchduke at least match what I did with Denmark: I'll be following along with interest. Will we see the return of unit blockades to protect city states for later capture? It'll be hard, what with the units under constant attack from always war AI...
I love how ruthless these games are. It's like the Always Peace setting, which always makes for the most aggressive games.
The updates are horrible so I have no idea what is going on but I'm changing my rating from Solid Alhambram-->Lean Alhambram.
I think Sweden is the strong favorite at this point. Victory points from the remaining cities to be captured are likely to be equally split between Sweden and Norway (with some minor spoils going to Norway), and then Sweden will eventually take the lead thanks to having so many more total cities. On that front, it's not even close; Sweden has about 20 cities to about 12 for Norway, and they still have room for even more settlers. The players are underestimating how much time is left in the game; they still have 25 turns remaining, and all of the cities on the map will be captured in the next 10 turns. Then there will be 15 turns left for Sweden to grow population, run trade routes, and chase after the remaining victory points, and having double the cities of anyone else should allow them to pass the rest of the field.
I know that both Sweden and Norway are posting "it's going to be close" in their threads right now, and it would be if the game ended with the last city captured. But there's going to be 15 more turns after that, and I suspect that period will prove to be decisive. Could be wrong but that's my read on the game state.
The end looks close. Wondering why neither team is thinking about harvesting wheat for VP.
