Several players have dropped out and we are in need of subsitutes. Immediately we need a substitute for the Numidia, Armenia and Egypt Factions. We are on turn 12, and humans play much faster than the AI. There are four major wars raging on, for example, the Julii has wrested control of the whole of the Italian pensulia from the Gauls, to my deep distress (I'm Gaul). One player has already been eliminated, Carthage was killed when Numidia and Scipii teamed up on him to seize the capital. As it is, there are some tensions between Numidia and Scipii. So this is a very exciting time to join. Armenia is fast approaching the limits of its regular expansion and must now take its first baby steps towards world politics and deal with international diplomacy. Its time of relative peace has allowed it to build up for a definitive conflict. Egypt is already at the limits of its expansion. It's recongized as one of the most powerful if not THE most powerful faction in the current game. But will it last? Everyone sees Egypt's strength and wealth, and everyone fears it. Egypt is likely in for the fight of its life when the rest of the world takes notice of this goliath in its backyard. So if any one interested in playing an extended multiplayer campaign against other, smarter human players, just go to that forum and ask for a position. There is a game 2 going on concurrently also that also needs subs. Game 2 works differently by allowing each player control of 2 factions, adding more excitment and strategic play. Thanks for listening.
