Thanks for the game everyone!

It turned out somewhat quicker than expected... I did have a very nice starting position with plenty of VPs and amazon-provinces nearby. Indeed, I only had to dispatch CharonJr and bribe Ygorl to attain 4 VP-provinces, which turned out to be enough in the end since I got to scoring them so soon. I had 2 extra points in the final scoring, though, so there was quite a bit of leeway.

I don't think my walls would have been breached in the very near future, Baalz: I could always kill off your non-lightning-resistant sieging force little by little and strengthen my castle-defenses by multiple castings of Call of the Winds. It was pretty fun fighting a war that I could win just by defending, definitely a different experience from the usual kill or be killed kind of war. For once, I found the expensive mountain citadels and fortified cities a blessing; usually they are but a hindrance being so expensive and taking so long to build in comparison to other forts. (Normally you only need forts to build national commanders and troops, and the characteristics of the forts are wholly irrelevant.)

Ah, but anyways, it was a fun game (although I understand some folks were surprised by the victory condition - I hope it didn't take away from their enjoyment), with a lot of formidable showings from many players. Thanks again!
