And so, in the end, we all end up dancing to the slow beats of the snake charmer dude... The flying carpets zoom over-head as Persia cruises to a 19-center solo victory. Carthaginians everywhere barely look up at the news, busy as they are at turning their swords into plow-shares. And in the northern provinces, Rome ekes out a narrow survival by slipping into the quiet hills of Vindobona.

A big congratulations to Mike for the solo, and a hearty thank you to all of you players for chasing this one all the way to the end. I've always had a soft spot for the Ancient Med variant, and I seriously enjoyed seeing this one play itself out.

EOGs are, of course, always welcome.

Cheers, my fellow Ancient Mediterranean Warriors. =)
