Ours is not the only power bloc that could accomplish something. We note with interest that Sauromatia still has an army of over 400 men poised to strike at our empire. And while we don't doubt our abilities to take such an army, the deaths will be staggering. Further, there is still Abysia - a proud and flaming nation to the East that continually marches armies up and down the border. It has no escaped our notice that they are seemingly winning a war against Pangaea (though a very bloody one from the look of it). Should they succeed in conquering that territory, I am unconvinced that Vanheim will still be the biggest individual position.

Finally, have you seen the armed forces of Yomi? Undisciplined and stupid as Oni are, it was nonetheless a ravenous horde of riffraff sufficient to conquer lands once belonging to Mictlan. That's not an inconsiderable military force either.

Ulm and myself have between us been the death of three false gods: Xennon, Joepas, and Aeforge. Isodea is clinging to life by the skin of her victims. But there have been seven eliminations so far, and Dreamslayer has gone AI. These next few turns will see the death of two more false gods, and still less than half the dead gods will be at the feet of the Ulm-Tien Chi alliance.

While Ulm, Tien Chi, and Vanheim are the most powerful nations by most accountings, there are still several nations which have shown themselves a power in their field.
