Yeah, dominion killing was clearly the way to go. To be fair, much of the time I had you under siege I was very busy attacking Caelum after they attacked Machaka and presented too tempting a target. But taking the time to finish you off before getting into that, or not trying to rush the thing immediately afterwards would have been far better choices.
Then again, I don't think you anticipated how much I was able to build up before each of your assaults. Normally, someone gets cut down to just one province, that's it - especially after your first attempt at storming, you could reasonably expect I wouldn't be getting reinforcements. But in addition to the capitol income, I had extra earth (thanks to Caspar's cave appearing) and 2 death income a turn from my lich.

Would've been even better / worse if I had played the base theme, with maenads popping up all by themselves.

Edit : This being my third or fourth time hanging on for 20-40 turns after being besieged capitol only with Pangaea didn't hurt either - I had practice.
