Summing Up Four Go To War

TOWARDS the end it looked like being a nail-biting finish between Richard's Romans and Andy's Persians, but the former were plagued by late revolts, while Andy was able to take advantage of Macedonian weakness to first reach the Mediterranean, and then capture double-scoring AEGYPTUS.

Here are the updated standings (four points for a win, three for coming second, etc).

The main points:

*Andy has regained the lead..

*Both my outright wins have come in command of the Persians/Parthians, including game three where Parthia never fell and so my people were Persians throughout.

*Richard's second place in game six is his best score..

*Looking at the peoples' stats, the Persians/Parthians have scored more than twice as many points as the Macedonians.

*Only the Carthaginians have failed to win a game.
