I'd rather suggest LA Mictlan's demise is an example of what happens when weaker nations gets sandwiched between the three biggest superpowers in a 60 player MegaGame. Kicked in the nuts by one then the other...all three offered me friendship at one point but you can only play both ends of that for so long when they're at each other's throats (which is, in fact what ends up getting you kicked in the nuts repeatedly). End game dominions is not something you have a lot of control over unless you're already holding a big stick by that point.
