the og game was absolutely fantastic despite players eventually cracking the meta, and I love everything the guy has ever made

e: oh its not a vic Davis project? shame, but a solium remake by an obsessed fan with his blessing is still exciting

also iirc he made four computer games total: Armageddon Empires, Solium, a wild west card game, and a very cool lovecraftian mansion simulator

What was the meta in the OG game? I did play it a bit but mostly against the AI. I think I stacked charisma for tribute. All the tribute all the time.

In particular in the first game I thought it was really obvious if somebody was doing the vassal to win thing because it was really expensive to pick that and you could tell if knew somebody's stats were suspiciously low.

Nice. In old SI it was called Kingmaker.

There was two kingmaker and power behind the throne.

Power Behind the Throne required you to blood vassal while Kingmaker required to make the choice blind at the beginning of the game.

So how do you avoid losing if someone picks you as kingmaker or whatever? Is there an other way to win as a vassal besides power behind the throne?

I think Kingmaker only works with prestige, you can win by taking Pandemonium or you can eliminate the Kingmaker first before winning by prestige.

IIRC taking Pandemonium is pretty tough and eliminating another player is also pretty tough.
