Indeed, Tristan, now that it's (finally) over, let me also say thankyou very much for making this a whole lot more interesting, and much much more challenging. I thought I had victory in the bag when I handed over to barcamartin, but then first Cheetah and finally you came up with such brilliance that it took a whole lot longer (and leaves bonnie Scotland minus two kings, and in shambles). But if I had to do it again, I would, because it was an exhilarating ride!
Ireland's up!

There must be some badger- or boar-blood in me :inquisitive:
Anyway, I had a blast...
At the start I did it to be proud to hand Cheetah back a faction in a better state but seeing how he seems not to come back I tried my best to carve myself a Kingdom...
Too bad he had alienated the whole lot of you IC (but understandable...) and too bad I had no bargaining chip...
If England had remained neutral, I might still be fighting (their Nelson's fleet caused great harm...)...
I hope you can rise up from the ashes of your country and make your place in the world (though I'm afraid you'll be next to go...)
One reflection on the hotseat games : strange how it seems to bring out the agressive side of players... Even is SP, players will tend to attack only rebels, settle a little, wait for a betrayal or make a single attack on a neighbor but in MP games, it is a free-for-all from turn one when we could leave peacefully for many turns leveling up before turning on one another...
Like I pointed to Zim some time ago, these games tend to bring out the paranoia that we all share a part of...
Actually, it wasn't my fleet that made the killing blows against the Norse one. I was able to reach your main fleet with some of my ships but not enough to take it on. Scotland dealt the first blow, with my guys as reinforcements, then I think it was Ireland (not sure though) that took it out. Only after did I start wandering around the sea with multiple nearly full stack fleets.
MP does seem to make players more aggressive but diplomacy plays a big role in how paranoid they are. I refused to take a very good excuse to take out Wales early on when they (note, this was with their previous player) unwisely attacked a settlement of mine to gain leverage for a settlement they really wanted (in Wales proper). Instead I traded the settlement to keep the peace, even knowing no other country would help them against me at the time.
I also tend to trust allies not to attack me without cancelling the alliance a turn earlier or declaring war, much to my chagrin in the MPC and Teutonic games. I guess some of us are more naive than others.
Yep, but I was prepared to deal with all others, your taking part (if only to assist) was decisive...Quote:

I think the real clincher was when William Wallace showed up right on the front lines. I'm not sure there was much you could do at that point, even if you had control of the seas and I hadn't taken Wick.

Dear Gods Scotland is in a sorry state. I can barely afford the military I have now, and my population is non-existant. I have Perth with about 15000 inhabitants. The next in line is Edinburgh with about 2500 :@.

:oops: ! Sorry guys, I have played the turn and zipped it, but forgot to upload. It has been on my desktop since I played it, as I don't remove it until the player after me has done his turn. I thought degeurra was the one holding it up .... :embarassed:
Anyway, there we go.
