...It's a shame this thread died. To revive it, I'm going to report on the other games I'm in.
30 player map, Day 21: I'm Ukraine. More than half the 30 players have gone inactive. I've used this to my advantage by convincing the retarded AI to be friends with me, effectively giving me free reign in my entire region. Early in the game, I completely knocked out Poland (whose ruler had the hilarious name of "Assbitch16"), doubling my provinces. I now have my sights set on Russia. I've taken one of their provinces and I'm moving on another 2 right now. The only active player still near me is Germany, but for some reason his morale has bottomed out and his troops are exhausted for no reason, so I have nothing to fear from him. I've recently allied with Arabia, who owns...basically all of the Middle East, Egypt, Greece and the Ottoman Empire (he's the #1 player this game, I'm 2 or 3). We're planning to go after the Baltic countries (Serbia, Rumania, Bulgaria) and the Caucasus together soon.
10-player map, Day 14: I'm Russia. I've taken over Denmark-controlled Finland, as well as Rumania. I've been first for a while, but just today dropped to second. I'm splitting Poland with Austria, who I am Allied with. I'm getting my first arty piece tomorrow. After I grab Poland, I'm torn between attacking Germany (who is Human, and active, but very weak) or Sweden (who is AI-controlled, but has enough troops to slow me down considerably. Germany has the energy sources I need, but taking it would put me at odds with Britain, who recently usurped #1 from me. Taking Sweden would give me all the building materials I'll ever need, and leave me in a very defensible position, but I'll be struggling to get enough coal to run rails throughout my nation. Decisions, decisions...
Is anyone else in any other games? If so, how are they going?
