Default What do you like to do when you're not dead yet?

In multiplayer, there comes a time in many a nation's story when they realize that they are pretty much doomed to obscurity, and have very little chance of winning.

What do you like to do when this is your nation?

What aggravates you about other player's choice of actions?

I think almost every time I'm killed or am doomed to die, I've chosen a different path. Anyway, if you've got an answer that's not in the poll, I'll update this post to include it.

To start, here's the options I can think of (leaving out vanishing/disappearing, which is not nice IMO). I think at one point or another I've done all of these. The two times I've done world-ravaging, I at least thought I had a small chance of victory, by trying to kill off all the mages and destroy the income of other nations. Well, one time I had a small chance of victory, the other time I'd have to characterize it more as a miniscule chance.

- Fight to the last man
- Choose another nation to help win
- Ravage the world/Scorched earth
- Ignore the bigger picture and fight your own little wars
- Donate all your gems & items to your conqueror and go AI
- Donate all your gems & items to your enemy's enemies and go AI
- Just go AI
- Ignore the game and let your nation stale
- Use it as a chance to test weird ideas
