I look ending of Dominions as a game from two different perspectives.

---

First point of view, (Dominions as a game that ends before all is settled)

It's 74th turn and I understand how Tien Chi's battle morale drops very dramatically by the sudden downfall (2-3 last turns) of their empire that has been ruling the province charts pretty much for most of the game. But as Franktrollman has cited Sun Tsu already he might be aware of the thing that the morale of combatants is the very key in winning (anyone).

I think that battles are really not won by fleeing and thus the fleeing participiant cannot declare they have won any of those who stayed on the field.
You all might remember this basic rule from the boardgames of old, like the Monopoly and such. We were all children and during that period we learned a lot of which we so very often seem to have forgotten a lot too.

Second point of view, (Dominions as a game in where there cannot be more than the one)

Ascending to the goodhood might be possible for only one of the pretenders?

I feel that one of the players cannot whistle the game over now - when he's morale drops and he finds out that there is an another (vastly more important life - i admit) and he "has to go".

I feel that both Kydorias of the C'tis and Xox of the Maverni are both in rather strong postion to dispute over the claim of Tien Chi beating them.
Hell, They even might be in a position to question my win! This should happen if we look at the game of Dominions in the sense that only one of the pretenders could ascend.
If they would like to try i would be happy to learn and teach a bit from them.
