Interesting @Aleks08II thanks for letting us know. I think if one Civ attacks a neighbour early in the game and is successful they can be hard to stop unless the remaining Civs cooperate and join forces. In this case the two separate land masses resulted in two separate games until you reached our shores. Anyway, an enjoyable game and thanks to everyone for participating. And Iām happy to call it now rather than see my beloved empire ground in to the dirt
