600AD:

Banzai has broken our aliance and attacked me - to my total surprise. He took 11 cities (most of them empty), up to the mountain ridge next to my core. He wrote me an email explaining his reasons, though I still do not get it. Since he was so much stronger, he did not need to backstab me to win. If we fought together to the end of all others like planned, the only chance of me beating his far superior empire would be a combination of much higher skills and immense luck. Neither do I consider myself a better player than him nor do I belive in luck. So the win is a deserved one in any case, since he played a better game in the sum of 174 turns.

Anyways, I disband all cities and settlers and that was it.

Banzai should not need more than 20 turns to mop up the 2 celtic cities, Matrix' weak Germans and the Dutch AI. A sad end for a great game from my pov.

You apparently had a chance with Hoovers and Iron Works. So, Banzai neutralized this chance. Life is cruel indeed.

Expect the unexpected.

At least you take it like a man, unlike some in a team game on another forum, who call themselves "team players"
