I thought it would be fun to ally with Lockheardt and thought Elves and Ogres would be a good start.   Alas,  Chris had other plans.  I also expected the Dwarves to be tied up protecting his homeland as the last time I played so many wanted a piece of the underworld.  Wrong on both counts and wrong on not cultivating the one friend who was loyal,  the Leprechauns.  Hence the early exit.  Well 2 tries at Haven,  and one draw.  not bad.  we will see again soon.  hope to see some of you in the next Haven Currently occupied filming Shrek IVMike

I have not been paying any attention to this game since being eliminated, but I'll say I'm not surprised at the result.  Let's see what I remember...

Right off the hop, I attempted to work with Hoffman because I've always been frustrated as his enemy and have rarely had the option of being his friend, so I thought since we were nearly neighbours, this would be a good chance for that.  As such, I started off in the direction of the Archers.  Shortly after beating him down, a call came from the Barbarians that the Knights were treacherous and needed to be stopped.  I looked at the situation and agreed.  I appealed to the Nomad, the Dwarf, and the Rogue to join me in knocking him down.  As it turned out, it was only the Barbarian and I who took up the
fight.  I remember being frustrated that
the Nomad and the Rogue couldn't patch their differences to help in this matter.

So, the Knight slowly did away with me, pushing me out into the central sea.  As he expanded, and came in contact with more people, I kept entreating people to avoid allying with him as he seemed to have a history of turning on allies, but one by one, they joined him instead of opposing him.  The only semblance of help I got was from the Dwarf, who helped me survive much longer than I should have, until I ran into an expanding Hobbit who couldn't see the use of keeping me around.

So I chose my retreat and sacrificed myself at the feet of a dragon, trying desperately to convince the world that the Knights were to be feared.  So that's why I say I'm not surprised.  Well played, sir!
