Well, as Arabia, Byzantium and I had an alliance going from the start, and with so-so Turan and Khazaria and Egypt players, we easily expanded. I had an on off alliance with Axum throughout the whole game until China got large, then we decided to ally for real. China and I were allies for a while against India, and I got so big I decided to attack, but at the same time Russia attacked from the North, so I had a disadvantage against China. From then on, China and I had a nice stalemate. For a while Russia vs. me/Byzantium had a nice stalemate, and then Russia went CD, and got taken over when they were almost dead. by that time, Axum was going NMR, Denmark was taking all of Europe, and Byzantium was struggling. Russia gave up his last few SCs to help Byzantium and I defend against Denmark's onslaught. Axum was destroyed, the only remaining players were China, me, Byzantium, Wagadu, and Denmark. At some point, Byzantium got desperate for Scs so he made a feeble one army stab that I ignored because I knew I just had to keep my line against China to survive. Denmark made a show of only taking Byzantium's SCs and not mine. Eventually Wagadu and Byzantium could hold off no more against China and Denmark, and Denmark won. Well played.
Pretty much since the time when Axum was eliminated, everyone voted draw except for Denmark. That particularly angered me. It didn't even look like he would win, it looked like China would, but alas, he never voted draw, and ended up soloing.
