Thank you Johnny, the Earth was by far the most fun map to date.

I for one, vote that this map be recycled and used again at a later date. Or now if you want. ;-p

Thanks Johnny, plus couldnt do it without my teamates, (seriously) thanks guys

I agree with the above.

This map was the closest and most hotly contested I've seen, and I thank all the players for a great game. Congratulations to the other Oceana members. Things fell together in a funny way, but it worked out in the end.

And, with the termination of Notho, I'm going to stop playing GT indefinitely. It just takes too much of my time. Thanks for the great games, and good luck in the future.

Happy Trails, good sir.

I say play the map again.

But reverse the colors. Make land into water and vice versa.

Giant land masses. Huge inland seas.

I think it would be fun

i think thats a cool idea

that would be awsome i vote for that

Good Game. Even after being defeated it was one of the best maps I've been on. Your alliance and team member skills simply outperformed us. Well done.

I have learned a lot from this map though. And I'll share some of those things:

1) One thing is how important it is to have radar on large coasts. I stopped so many landings on my coast because of radar, and it was not until the end that I stopped checking it every day. It's expensive, but on a map like this, it helped me a ton.

2) If you have a good alliance, that is what matters. It's obvious and it is something we can't always control either... But we can do something. When you are in an alliance, it is best to expand to and around your alliance members with lily-pad bases. That way if they quit or go inactive, then you can be there to get the land first. You can also use Radar to track their seas for them. On this map, 2 of my alliance members did not seem too cooperative about this, and did not easily vacate land for me to take... and it turned out that their land was what our alliance lost when the game progressed and they went inactive/disappeared.

3) Team work. I should have done less in Africa and more with Australia when my allies were attacking it. It helps when everyone is focused on one target. That causes the target country to become overwhelmed and lose.

Anywho, that's my words of wisdom here.

Sad to see ya go. Trust me, not every map will be as time consuming as this one was for you. It's hard to be the biggest, and you put much more into this map than anyone else. Take care.

This world's video is one of my favorites. I loved that battle in Africa!
