Well, almost everything I have money and gem wise is currently going into fighting my two opponents, even though defensively I remain very strong (as my two opponents are finding out while they sit ineffectually outside my city walls while disease spreads among them). However Pythium must ask itself where easy pickings can be had? It certainly isn't in Ctis, as a victory over me is in many ways just as bad as a defeat (as Machaka and Marignon are finding out... the disease isn't merely spreading among their troops but in their homelands as well... thousands die each day), but in those nations which have denuded their defenses for a maximum effort against me. In the meantime my garrisons within my other cities remain in place and vigilant against sudden attacks.
