582 4/23/2025 11:47:00 PM 203-201 BC Carthage Message not worrying about attritions
Isolations for Zuccabar, Tupusuctu, Sitilis and Vescera.

Province count at the end is Carthage: 8
Rome: 9

Rome wins
With a 3 point card if I had taken it from you i could have moved mago again for the win (though i don't think you had a 3 point card this turn!)

I do apologize for not keeping up with the game. My wife and I had been going through a great deal of trouble for the last few months, and three weeks ago she told me she wanted a divorce, so these last few months have been some of the worst in my life (probably an overshare, but I have not been able to keep up with this game as I just didn't have much of an interest).
