I was afraid that you might pull a research victory Megloblob. After I fought your armies and you had not only wizards but also sages in your army and you had several paths researched to level 8.
I thought I myself might stand a chance of research victory after Ryleh and I traded probably 80 or 90 death for air gems I was able to make a lot of research skulls but apparently not enough. I think I was doing around 210 research per turn at the end.

My last turn I was doing over 1000+ RP's. I have 500+ research for ages. I did choose my pretender/scales with a research victory in mind and I think the first 20 turns I played aiming at the research victory. I then started playing to conquer my neighbours, totally forgetting about the research victory...
Lucky I was paying attention those first 20 turns or so.
If I had kept to the research road, I could have probably won 5-10 turns ago.
It was a combination of a early discovery of the wizard province 10RP's/turn and Agartha's death magic(skull mentors)/fire magic(lightless lanterns), the sages I discovered fairly late in the game, so did not make a huge difference, near your border by the way.
