That's about as good as it gets for Caelum. Caelum is very good researcher and lightining bolt is very low research. On top of that many other nations have hard time beating strong indies while it makes little difference to Caelum. And after that, the Caelum will have its usual window of strength well prolonged. I'm fighting (or rather was fighting) nearly everybody in DryLands (very hard research and strong indy) and they've nearly lost. The phase of the game when Caelum is very strong becomes too long and the game can be decide during that time. In other games, with regular research and indy strength Caelum (played by me in one game and by other players in few others) is nowhere as dominant and not in a single game it's a top nation (though in 2 games it's doing quite well, probably around 2nd overall).
