Congrats to the Knights. The Gnomes probably had quite a bit to do with
the final result, but not as slavishly as might have been perceived. The
original decision was easy to get rid of the Centaurs and secure what I
thought of as my rear guard.
My memory is bit vague on it , but
things went awry when I attacked the Trolls believing the Rogues were
going to do so simultaneously. However the Rogues craftily delayed doing
so waiting for the two of us to fully engage. Thus he picked up a lot
of the Troll territory. This resulted in cutting off the last route of
expansion I might have had for the Pirates to my south were too strong,
although I attempted to deal with it. So surrounded by the Rogues,
Knight and Pirates it was only a matter of time. I couldn't get the
Knights interested in going at Rogues, indeed the Knight announced he
would enforce a peace between the two of us and attack the one  who
broke it.
So the question comes why didn't I try to stop the Knights
early on? I think another player has already answered this. From my
perspective there was no credible proposal as to how to accomplish this.
It always seemed to me that it came down to you, Gnomes, stab him and
the rest of us will be right behind you.
So congrats to the Knights
again and my advice is don't trust a Rogue, who is really really good at
convincing you he is a great guy who just wants to help.

Re: dc394 s19 results!




This is it!  Game over!  Congrats Brian...
 
Catapulting to 55 suppy centers with only 52 needed to win, the Knights take this one to the record books.  Longest game (20 years) and first solo victory... So.  What do you have to say for yourselves?  EOG's!  From everyone!  Even those little guys who got killed early on...
