12 Aug 21 UTC Spring, 1545 BC.: GameMaster: Someone has taken over Byzantinum replacing "acorn". Reconsider your alliances.

Feels like I should apologise for the greedy bid on Corinth, I had saved orders to bid on Ithaca which would have given a more competitive west game. I held up the solo an extra year which didn't help me in the end but only 2 SCs in the end feels like comeuppance.
Early lack of competition in the north was a bit disappointing, I was practically screaming for the Old Byzantium to put in a challenge on at least Thassos. Lots of island hopping too (including me with Knossos), which tbh held everyone back other than Macedon.
With consideration this is not the best map for gunboat, but it's a good map anyway. Thank you
14 Aug 21 UTC Hi, I came in literally the last year hoping I could gain a couple of ranking points from coming in very late but not to be. Well done Persia for seeing the move to Ilium on that last turn!
14 Aug 21 UTC Thanks, Light green.

It was a pleasure working with you and playing this game with everyone. GG
14 Aug 21 UTC GG, thanks all. Momentum very much from the bidding but I was a litle worried when it was nearly all armies the first year.
Everyone else seemed to tread on each other which left me room to grow, which yes I think was a result of it being gunboat.

Can I commend whoever came up with the name of this game, 90% of my decision to join this one was down to that!
14 Aug 21 UTC I agree I really liked the name. Honestly I thought I would lose more ranking points
15 Aug 21 UTC Well that was me; Homers Odd I See was the predecessor.

I was sooooo delighted to get Athens and knew survival was the name of the game. But I despaired of even that when Macedonia got Ithaca - top tip, because Macedonia has very few early game fleet building sc options, Sparta must either get it or block the purple monster from getting it, because every.single.year a new fleet will come out of Ithaca giving Mac immense leverage .
