Turn 18

The province tally is: Machaka 18, Ermor 18, Marignon 12, Arcosephale 10, Pythium 9, Jotunheim 9, Man 9, and Pangaea 8. Machaka has a new fort and is now the category leader with a total of three forts. Man is now clearly in second place for income, though it is well behind first place Machaka. Ermor and Jotunheim found gems, and Machaka has lost some gem income. Ermor is now tied with Pangaea for third place in research. Marignon had a substantial increase in dominion and moved from last place to fifth. Man rehired Obscuro. The Armored Fist of God is still unemployed. Victor's Villains and Dagan the Sage will also be open for bidding. In the Hall of Fame, Marignon is doing well with three living celebrities. Arco has two living celebrities.
