All,

LT39 has ended! The victors are (in order of score) arkan, cgalik, Sketlux, Lord_P. All other nations are RIP.
Edit: Butters was allied with Lord_P a while ago, but went idle for so we killed him. He was RIP as well on T109.

It was a good game, and I'll write up a full summary soon.

Much thanks to our enemies for playing hard all the way to the end! Last living alliance was: sigur, chill, Mooreinstore, ptizoom, Kocurek, and Orisson. They were finally RIP on T108.

Appreciation to wieder and akfaew for running the game selflessly.

cgalik

Congrats to the winners!

Will be interesting to read the summary!

Also thanks for everyone playing in LT39!

yes this was a very nice game....I got on with kocurek straight away, and try up other neighbours.
I fancied to beat the system using tribalism+chariots....but did not dare running through the idlers... and could not keep up with experienced gamers growth: the one who wants to win must steal cities and or merge settlers at start?
shame wwqt shot everything moving...as could have made a great warring alliance (+ptizoom+kocurek)
sketlux woz cool and mean like mincing civilisation machine, and shown remarkable dare when managed to conquer my humble tirbe in not less than 3 turns, just landing from the sea. darn ... I should have had muskets instead of one shaggy warrior on the coasts.
but really...cannons made the difference again, and I think arkan rightly made us fill the pain of powder.
-I am for keeping sciencebox to 150% or more... this gives T time to work out strategies with units not getting obsolete before reaching their targets!
-then the x3 is slightly too much, it makes the sea one square!, but I suspect nothing can be easily done to change that.
-some civilisation should become very much more unrest when so much bigger...to give a chance to smaller one in the game?
I see sigur, chill vs all the others... as an example, one had plenty of peaceful space and time to grow, the others waged conquest and won.
may be this a benchmark to check what could be done to reduce this gap between peace and war. trade should be reintroduced (but with a less extravagant bonuses).

see ya.
