Always harder to figure out what to do when you have "overwhelming peace." Haha.

Sorry for not doing a video recap. Instead I do short.. summaries.
I started the game just staring off into space wondering what the future holds. I glance around at my neighbors and wonder who's territory I secretly covet. Nojo to my south whispers he wants to be allies and roadkiel to my south east messages that our previous wars are of the past and we are to be best friends. I put a heart next to their names and agree that we shall have peace. Square also wants to be friends and I say yes being all friendly like its the first day of school. Chariot didn't offer to be my friend but we were somewhat separated. Having lots and lots and lots and lots of friends except to my east and north I set out to explore uncharted waters. Riot... we fought in cold war, color war and joust. Might as well add this to the list. I set out to attack him with my speed and he counters with his speed and we're just beating each other to the bottom of the intelligence reports. I message him and ask if he wants to do a surprise attack on Niv and he whispers back saying he was thinking the same thing. Riot gets countered by Niv's speed and backs off to attack Chariot leaving me fighting Niv alone. Niv was already on the top so if no one else will fight him I will fight him alone... So apparently Niv has friends, lots of them and his friends are my friends but they like him more. So I'm innocently fighting the number 1 guy helping everyone else while I'm on the bottom but Road and Nojo are moving drillers and specialist to my border. I move my queen south to do a quick hire and snipe some specialist if they decide to attack which they did. They all launch on me. 122 from Niv. 150 from Road with a smuggler, helmsman and liet. 129 from Nojo with a thief, and 2 generals. I had maybe 60 drillers left. I manage to kill one of Nojo's generals and also managed to kill a liet, helmsman from Road. I asked if anyone wanted to gift me their drillers and specialist in exchange for their specialist safe return but none were interested. Riot my enemy that turned ally sensing my distress comes to help liberate me of some outpost with 125 and a general. Its a 7 player games guys... there is other people to attack besides me. Square gets eliminated. Well there was 1 other person that could of been attacked besides me. Whew I'm not last. Well there goes the 1 ally that didn't attack me. I'm just chilling at almost my last base with most of my specialist and my liet but Road doesn't want to let me live in peace. I play keep away with my navigator and some pirate shenanigans buying time for my specialist to reassemble. He goes up, I go down. He goes down I go back up. Eventually I have to promote my navigator which makes dodging much harder but I bought enough time to promote a general as well. He sends 155 at me with a helmsman and a revered elder to my last base. I use some general shenanigans to survive with just 7 drillers left of the original 67 and take his helmsman and revered elder prisoner. At least he can't use the revered elder against me later. If he only had sent 8 more drillers. Meanwhile Nojo, Riot and Niv are all capacity or near it. Their color is holding steady besides nibbling away at Square nothing is really changing for them as far as my 1 base and intelligence report shows me. Road hasn't been feeling well so he been autopiloting. His assumption that I was dead was off by 8 and he had sent a follow up squadron of 94 drillers with a security chief, a thief and a smuggler towards my queen. More general shenanigans later I survive and killed off his specialist while launching a counter attack with a thief, infiltrator, admiral and 1 driller to harass Road's mine that he left undefended. Because Road had lost many of his specialist early on, I now out specialist and speed him. I dodge his army and attack his defenseless bases which is a lot easier fighting a person that only checks once every 17 hours. Having 3 pirates and 4 assassins because that is what my hires gave me I set out to try and surround his queen. Meanwhile wars break out in distant countries far away from my sights. I manage to just barely pirate Road's queen eliminating him from the game preventing him from launching any more attacks on me. Road and Chariot's mine are pretty close. With 18 hours left before Niv wins I set out to attack Chariot hoping maybe his queen is near by but was unsuccessful.. the end with 5 nep.
