I was also quite surprised when Vanheim showed up with yet another army. I simply can't see why he still is sacking his troops across the sea like that. Maybe he is still mad at me for recently eliminating him in another game in which we were both participating. In fact, I am very surprised that C'tis, R'lyeh, and Arco have not simply carved up Vanheim's meager territory since he does not have much army left now with which to defend.

Friend Panther...I am not mad for my elimination in that other game, although it would have been glorious to overcome you (what is the status of that game anyway?). No, actually, the Northern Alliance stands strong. My defenses are not weak, and our committment to defending each other remains invulnerable. Yes, we will come to blows later on, and yes, I shall probably be the first one to fall, but until then, I throw my strength wholeheatedly behind the Northern Alliance!
Perhaps I am a fool for honoring alliances, and maybe it will cost me in the end, but I can not do otherwise.
Besides, Panther, I like fighting you.

As for Aku's comment above, I have the totally opposite opinion from him. I greatly do not wish for a long game, as Dominions simply ceases to be fun when it becomes so tediuos to make each move. I spend over an hour per move in this game now and still do not even come close to doing everything that ought to be done. I have no idea which commanders have which artifacts anymore. Also, there are way too many cheap strats and far too many things that are totally obsolete by about move 90 or so. Most battles are completely one-sided, based on whatever cheap strategy happened to work. Like the killing of the nearly 200 C'tis worms on my part a few turns ago. Utterly absurb.

As great as this game is, I think the game interface lends itself to the fact that the end game can be tedious. Being able to report information is paramount to a mid to late game strategy. Even a high budget game such as the Total War series didn't come out with a good interface until their latest installement. So yea, it can become tedious.
