U seem to win a ton of the tournaments I start....well done. That seaweed picture is from a surf spot near Oregon. We should team up in something sometime somehow......
Hey, NI - Thanks for the heads up on the duplicate factory on New Earth - all fixed.
I've just invited you to Dev play a map that's in Review and soon to go live. If you're not already familiar with "War of the Roses," you might find "Renaissance Wars" a bit complicated, so feel free to decline.
Here is my understanding of this lovely situation happening in our Ant game. I did attack your territory on, I think the 4th because that is when I got your message and agreed to pull my troops back and truce with you. On the 5th is when BST offered a truce as well and I had accepted. My thought process was that I would just reinforce my borders and wait for the chaos to filter out and I am left with my troops intact because I have truces with both of the players on my flanks. My plan was to simply wait it out. I had no need for cards, nor did I want a conflict that would cost me more troops. If this is not acceptable in your view then I honestly do apologize and I will own up and admit I made a mistake.
Thanks for catch on Total WarGear -- I've fixed that continent. I am aware of the imbalance you point out with regard to the starting positions, but unfortunately that's the way I made the map (without thinking about it), so that's how it is. Total WarGear II has a more balanced setup for the islands.
Thanks for the note about my Crystal Caves map. I made the fix, but unfortunately it will only affect new games started on this map, so it won't take affect for your game.
