It is ok Persia, I knew you would win anyways, although I am slightly upset that you decided to go opportunistic. The problem with this game was that, I knew I lost right after the first phase. I was sandwiched between two experienced players, and their only other neighbors were both really bad. Egypt made it so easy for Persia to get huge early advantage. I am hundred percent certain that I can win a game against you if this was more of a symmetric match.

Rome, your mistake was that, in the beginning you probably only talked to me and Carthage; but I talked to every single player on the board. I convinced Egypt and Carthage to stop fighting each other, I taught egypt how to fend off early persian attacks and slow him down, and taught carthage how to be more systematic when playing against you.

And my only mistake was that, I shouldn't have double crossed Carthage. I was really mad when he decided to do demagoguery on me by not letting me take neapolis after I helped him against Rome. But still I am happy with how things ended, because it was very close to how I predicted it right from the beginning.

Sorry mate this game just kept dragging on and on... But all in all guys it was a good game well played by all of you

Hehe, dragging on and on; you dont often see a game that ends in only 7 years. I am still proud of that ultimatum that i sent which kept you at bay for some time. Cheers

I actually did talk to almost everyone. My mistake was taking the wrong alliances.

I guess, the alliance you had in mind was between egypt you and me, is that right? I would be totally on board with that if egypt didnt give too much land to persia right from the beginning.
