I think around turn 30 (it was before Pan even got their sub) I messaged everybody about needing to stop Mictlan immediately; that they were already getting too powerful and if the world didn't act then it would be too late. but most others thought there was no real threat or were too busy in some other minor war to act. (except for Pan, but then that player left).
Mictlan vulched provinces off of Pyth, Bandar Log, and Ctis, but never faced a real threat from any of them. They were able to pick up lots of land without facing a real war. Myself (Shinuyama) actually lost my entire main army _after_ pythium went AI. The AI sent about 10 A1 mages and 20 troops (all they had left) to face my army of 400+ Dai Bakemono. They killed every one of them! How? Spamming confusion. That event is actually why Confusion got nerfed in the most recent CBM.
Regardless of that event, I couldn't have faced down Mictlan alone. He had a huge research lead and huge gem lead. Huge armies of _quality_ units. All the artifacts. I pm'd everyone again warning of the dire situation. Not enough people were willing to act
