Lock Position now Void - Thread Closed

Greetings potential sub.

First up, I won't be able to give too much detail about this position here, since the other players in the game would be able to read it. But I can give a lot more detail if you PM me. Although there are a few things I can mention here.....

Some general info to start with.

Game - A1ComfortZone
Era - MA
Type - PBEM on the llamaserver
Schedule - 75 hours
Current turn - 106
Nation - MA Atlantis
Game thread - http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=41222
llamaserver thread - http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo....=A1ComfortZone


The status of this game is that there are two huge nations fighting it out for the win. Jotenheim and Mictlan. There is then one mid nation, Atlantis, and a few smaller nations, C'tis, Ulm, Vanheim, R'yleh (AI).

The main plus points for the nation are that you have the Nexus up. You have several Wish casters. You have several multi-pathed mages. And lets just say, you have a few gems. Maybe the odd clam as well.

Another big plus point is that you are not at war with anyone (apart from the last few remnants of the AI R'yleh). So neither of the big 2 should be jumping you the moment you step in. (so there should be time to acclimatise yourself)

The main downside is that your chances of winning are probably zero, since the resources you have available now, the big 2 nations had about 40 turns ago. So you are in effect 40 turns behind them. Although they are fighting each other, and hence losing/using a lot of resources each turn, which is not happening to you yet. So you are certainly gaining on them in that respect.


The main reason I am looking to pass this naton over is that I just don't have the time to invest into the position right now. And the position really does need time in order to do it justice, since it is a certainly a decent postion IMO. I myself am also a sub for this nation, as I saved them from the hands of the AI 20+ turns ago, when the original owner went AWOL leaving them to stale to death. The fortune of Atlantis has been much improved since those days in the wilderness. But I confess that my attatcchment to this nation is not what it would be if it were my own.

Atlantis basically has the resources and mages to do whatever it wants to at this stage, but with that freedom comes a serious time requirement, which is where I encounter my problem. Plus it is the late game, so everything takes just that bit longer to do. Which again requires time I don't have at the moment.


So if you are looking for endgame experience, and want to step into a position that is, very rarely for this stage, completely free from baggage (which makes endgame learning a lot easier). Or if you have some endgame ideas you want to try out, but just never had the resources to do so before, then this could also be the position for you. (as you will have the resouces here)


Alantis has a definite role to play in the outcome of this game, but unfortuantely I just don't have the time to find out what that role will be. So if you are interested in this position, or you just want to know more about what resources Atlantis has to offer, then please send me a PM

'Thank You' for your time in reading this.

Edit: Game looks to have been pulled/decided, so this position has obviously died with the game.
