Mmm, I'm not arguing that I haven't made mistakes. I do argue, however, that people's perception (based on the score graphs) that I'm in a strong position is incorrect.
If you're going backwards with no way to arrest that backslide (and I've been trying unsuccessfully to do exactly that for some time now) then it doesn't matter how many provinces you're about to lose. It just changes the amount of un-fun time it's going to take to lose them.

Because, as Cainehill put it, it's not a boatload of fun.

Storm has a couple vicious SC's, and raiders. you can probably respond in a similar fashion, I would think - you certainly still have a large gem income.

I cannot respond in similar fashion. I don't have SCs as tough as his, and I don't have the Vans, or any equivalent.

I'd suggest just bulldogging through it, and see what happens. start going defensive - storm does not have huge armies w/ which to control his territories either.

If there's anyone willing to do this, or perhaps even with the ability to turn the position around, I'd love to hear from them.
