It would not have affected me to cast Armageddon. I didnt have any gold anyways for a long time and it would have wiped out your ability to build temples and forts as well as your blood income You would have been decimated in that area and it would not have had any real affect on me. Plus AC would have never been cast.

I think you seem to have missed the fact that Armageddon kills somewhere around 1/3 of your population per cast as well as killing a few military units. Killing the military units is only a side effect its the population kill that you want.
