I really don't see why Marverni is so confident... I would say you are marginally ahead of me or Niefelheim, but certainly not at the point where we couldn't win (and that is without a trump card). You aren't able to hold conquered territory and I haven't even committed the bulk of my researching mages (who are reasonably competent battle mages), tartarians, immortal death summons, thugs (who are also still researching)or blood supercombatants. Call these a trump card or not, quantity has a quality all its own, and Niefelheim has no small amount of territory to attack from either.

This all being said, 5 days is acceptable, although with that long of a hosting interval I will have to find a sub or ask for a month long hiatus starting from 7 February to 10 March (work is sending me to where there is no internet).
