Empire X - Halfway Standings

IT is interesting to compare this game's victory points at the halfway stage with what happened in our nine previous four-handed games.

                                  Carthaginians...Persians/Parthians...Macedonians...Romans....Total
Current Game                      18                       14                            9                  4              44
Game Nine                          18                        12                          14*                4               48
Game Eight                          17                        15*                         10                 5              47
Game Seven                        17                        16*                           8                 7              48
Game Six                             18                        15*                         10                 5              48
Game Five                            18                        15*                         8                  4              45
Game Four                            17                        13                         11                 5*             46
Game Three                          14                        16*                         6                  5              41
Game Two                             17                        17*                         9                  7*             50
Game One                             17                        12                        11*                 5              45
*Eventual winner(s)

Andy's Carthaginians have matched their previous halfway high, but Carthage has never won one of our games.
Richard's Persians/Parthians have 14 victory points, one less than their minimum halfway score when winning, or sharing a win, in previous games.
The Macedonians' nine victory points is two below their halfway score when they won in game one, and five below their halfway score in their other win, in game nine.
Rome's four is also below their halfway score when they recorded their two wins (one shared).
So, no one is going to win game nine ... or, rather, since someone must win, something will have to give before this game is over.
