Rrat Bastige makes a last ditch effort to stave off elimination.  I decline.

Ignoring the Ogres, I ask Hugue to administer the coup de grace.  He is happy to oblige.

Ardania will now enter a period of unrivalled happiness and joy under the enlightened rule of Emperor Rjakh the Smiling!

The purpose of this exercise, for me, was to see if I would do it.  I am a great procrastinator and an enthusiastic starter but a piss poor finisher.  So I am pleased this has come to a successful conclusion on all fronts.

Playing this small of a game has proved to me that rapid expansion and bumping your experienced units up is a good strategy to win.  I also made good use of the resources available to me to get superior units and research.  Entering the Underworld was a waste of time, energy and resources against the AI.  Had my opponent been a human, I expect things would have been different.  Lastly, at the time of the wars start, Turn 57, I thought I had enough units to do the job.  I was right, but it was a judicious use of bumps, levelling up and keeping those units healthy that ultimately provided the win.

I hope you who read this have enjoyed my little story in pictures.  I have enjoyed chronicling Rjakh and his minions rise to supreme power.

Congrats on your win and sticking with the AAR MetalDog!  It was a fun game to follow along.

agreed - a well-done AAR that looked like a fun game to play

Thank you both.  I want to do another one, just not sure which direction I want to go.  It will either be a Warlock SP and Capture all the Holy Sites to become Archon of the Conclave or Civ IV BTS and actually finish an attempt to learn Monarch.  What I would REALLY like to do is MP an AAR.  Any takers?

Yeah, that was a fun AAR to read.  Thanks for doing it MetalDog! 

Sorry to hear about poor Pete, btw.  I miss him.  :(

You two knock that crap off!  I won't have this thread degenerate into one of those awful pun fests bob is so fond of.  Make no bones about it!!!
