As for teaming up against the Aussies, it would have been nice... Raz was the key in this. Capo and Drake were decidedly against them, I had decided to stay totally in character and have a democratic election to decide how UAS would play out the end game. The voters elected Genghis Khan on a platform of attacking the Chinese.
Ideally players form alliances to create a balance of power and unite against the top dog. However there is also the inclination to ally with the top dog so he kicks everyone else's ass, and not yours. This is what I feel Prom(China) and Raz(Israel) did.
Plus since in the real world hundreds of years pass during the history of the world, so alliances can change radically in that time. But when you are playing for a year or so, and leaders for large part stay the same people often just get locked into alliances and stay that way. Players that try to be tricky and unpredictable (more like real life) end up getting beat down (Capo).

Amen on those sediments…
Ahhh, memories, while I have fond memories of the game, I don’t know if I would of dragged up a game from a year ago. And Oz, I was the Chinese, Raz was Israel.
Ljcvetko, I consider Deity the winner, he played a good game, Australia is isolated enough not to be threatened, and Deity is very good at projecting power so it was an ideal position for him. Drake, did try to organize a counter offensive but it was pretty much for naught. If you had given me another 100 years the game might of turned out differently, but Oz had to go and attack me and no one could offer me a more lucrative deal than Deity. What was it, nearly 1000+ for every caravan? In any attack on Deity I would have been on the front lines and been crushed at that point in the game. Though I think I did have Deity a bit scared at the end, and we did have some good politick discussions on ICQ at the end there.

Starting to flush out a few lurkers now
Hi Prom! Yeah, we enjoyed that game but I was always worried that you'd suport drake in the end and you could have fooled me by replacing caras on those many vessels heading my way with units!
But in pure diplo terms it never made any sense for Chinese to backstab Aussies so I feel the diplomatic victory was the most important achievement in this game. Capo, Chris (GNGSpam) and drake blew it diplomatically...
