Re: Just a few more turns...
Actually neither army size, nor provinces controlled, heck not even gem income mean anything in the game. Yes, they give you a better position, but you have to be able to make use of that position.
Some nations play very well with an SC style. Caelum can do it with their Eagle Kings, properly kitted, C'tis can do it, Yomi can do it, T'ien Ch'i can even do it, albeit they have to have a dedicated focus on that, to the detriment of other strategies.
The province situation can change quickly as we say it did in this game. Had I moved in when I was ready to, rather than rushing as I had to this last turn, I planned on taking 5 or 6 provinces in one go. That can be devastating to anyone. Sure, they can recover, but you can't have many turns like that.
At this point in the game, Yomi and I have to work together to take down Oceania. Is it possible? Yes, is it probable? No. Oceania has played the game too well to this point, and I made a number of mistakes which I won't make next game.
