Thanks. Good game. Though would have been much closer without the Istanbul mistake. Maybe well get a chance to rematch in the final :)

Alright. GG. And yeah you definitely need to limit the number of neutrals you attack as I think most of the neutral armies are too strong on this map to be worth it.

I’m also not convinced this map is totally balanced as I think the Roman alliance is considerably stronger.

Peace it is  :-D.

Thanks for playing, GG.

@Bacala:

Thanks for playing was fun. Not very experinced myself but most countries looked good, maybe trying holding Selucia is key but not sure if possible.

Yea, that got rolled up pretty quickly… Perhaps I’ll check out some other games :)

Ok. Good game. Good luck in our next match!

Alright. Good game and well played.

Looks like you’ll have plenty of chances for revenge as we are paired for total ancient war and LOTR! I’ll look to start up total ancient war later today as I’m first in that one. I think you are first for LOTR so you can start that one up when you get a chance.

Ok, good game! You had a very strong start, never felt that pressure early on from Germany before. But in the end I think you overextended yourself a bit too much :) Well played!

When the allies get nerfed about 100 ipc and seazone changes… you need luck for the allies and that is what I was hoping for.

Good luck with the rest of the tournament.  GG.

Anytime man. :)

My last best hope for a turn around was some kind of crazy German final defense at Berlin. But now that UK has the numbers to ensure the 1-2 punch, the Allied crush seemed inevitable hehe. This way you can kick things off with JEB.

Look forward to seeing how the rest of the game’s progress.  Catch you next time!

Thank you! I think this map is actually quite balanced if you get a few extra bid with the allies. If you don’t keep the momentum with the axis, you will just see your income getting slowly eaten away. It’s hard to turn around a tough start with the axis, like the one you had. I’ve found out that myself :)

Thank you for the game.
