"In the next 10 turns RAH and mongols are toast, then its bezerker, then finally u."
Gotta love your confidence. I had already started on the Mongols (two or three of their cities in the last 4 turns) and probably would have finished them off before you got there. No way would you have finished me in 10 turns.
Having said that (and thumping my chest), the outcome was 98% inevitable. Yes I would have eventually (at least 20 turns
) been crushed between the two of you. Not a great start for me, in terms of trade specials or guessing which way to initially explore. But that's what makes every game different and interesting.
I do disagree on the small map. It promoted conflict early and often, and made every square(no matter how ****ty the terrian was) valuable.
But that is the fourth simul game that I've been in that someone quit during the game due to something that occured that they deemed unfair about simul. And as a result, I will not be joining any simul games. Just call me an ole MAN who likes some breaks during the game. I will admit that it cruised right along. But I've seen arguments in every game which have distracted from the reason why I play. (TO HAVE FUN)
And after another 1x1x experience, my feelings about it haven't changed. It's like watching grass grow. (and I'm so used to 2x1x that I did make a few errors )
Thanks for the game though, and it's too bad, because that was a good group and I enjoyed the challange and the opponents. (hopefully if we cross swords in the future, I'll get a slightly better start)
