Alternately, we of Atlantis propose that now is a good time for other nations to take a piece of Patala. Left alone for too long, Patala has amassed a powerful collection of enchantments. It's only a matter of time before they raise an Arcane Nexus, and then all other nations are in dire threat. It was this conclusion that led us to declare war in the first place.

Further, while we admittedly control more territory than Patala, we cannot match their gem income or research, and it's those, rather than easily claimed territories, that will win the prize.
