Uhm, let's see: Marignon, Man, Arcosphale, Matchaka, or T'ien Ch'i( he's doing a great job with a nation considered weak)?
WRT: the troops graph, Pangea's statistics look very good due to free spawns. Man's stats are 100% quality troops. I've been fighting him those numbers ain't archers. They are Vine Ogres. Which are FINE troops in those numbers let me assure you.

Unless you have access to 'save or die' spells that's a lot of HP to pound through. They Last a long time. All that time his mages pound the crap out of you. He needs those mages anyway to lead that number of magical units he might as well use them.
Hey if you have a good way to obliterate crazy numbers of vine ogres I am all ears. Remember this is hard research. Don't go telling me to spam nether darts or use disintegrate those are a little too high. No soul slay either I'm not Arcosphale or Pythium. No polymorph it's too high up and I'm a death nation. Wrathful skies would be great. Sadly I'm not Caelum. I've basically got to pound through those HP. I ( very sadly ) had to use Behomoths Last time to crush his 1st army and it hurt me way more than it hurt him. Those are expensive units and they are suboptimal against such large troops I would have much rather used them against Ulm or marignon, but Man forced my hand.

This is 100% correct. They are still flawed but they are *much* better than normal where they have almost no link to reality!

By how much, exactly? I have 1 province more than 1 nation and 3 other nations are lagging me by 1 more. Sounds like spin to me, honestly. 5 nations are basically in a tie for research. We've already discussed the army graph -- it's pretty much worthless. The only graph I am ahead by is gems and sadly that is due to a rainbow pretender which is why I am in this pickle. If I had an SC I would wipe away the chaff before me.
If I'm ahead then it ain't by much 4-5 nations are pretty darn close. And one more ( man ) has a lot more strength ( due to I have to conceed a very nice equipping of mages ) than the graphs show.

Well it's kind of irrelevant since I think you are the only one being played by a human. I have little doubt where the 11 SCs will land. Anytime I have played Mictlain and been left alone for as long as you have it's been trouble for the rest of the world. However you are missing Soul Contracts, lucky for us or the game would basically be decided by now.
Anyway I'll fight it out. Who knows what will happen. Maybe some random fortune will save me or something. We'll see.
