Hey all,
Not exactly a picturesque ending with 4 out of 7 countries going into Civil Disorder, but EFG agree to a 3-Way Draw so that is our final result!
I really appreciate the committment of our final 3 to see the game thru to the end, despite the rocky path we followed - players that stick it out definitely do not go unnoticed, and I hope you guys find your way into a veteran game so as to perhaps not be so subjected to the abandons. Any end-game-statements are of course welcome - share your perspective on the game.
I enjoyed watching the EFG triangle unfold, and I think it was really just the early collapse of 3 powers on the southeast half of the map that forced everyone in the west to call off the traditional stabbing and try to put up a stalemate. That triangle could have been a lot more interesting if a similar balance had developed in the south. Anyways, good game, and I hope to encounter you in a game sometime...
