Yeah, you would. You've got far more mobility than me, especially on thugs/scs, so it would be very easy for you to quickly take over caelum's territories. I've got ghost riders to clear, plus several flying scs/thugs, a good number of grounded scs and thugs, and a pretty large army with strong buffs and the ability to cast stygian paths, but I'm stuck behind the bottleneck of doom and would need to capture bandar-kadek to make any real progress. Unfortunately bandar-kadek has a seriously potent army hiding behind its walls and it's going to take a real effort for me to take the province. Further, if I did cast stygian paths to move an army it would lose most of the support mages, so it really wouldn't be that useful.
I don't know exactly where all of caelum's armies are, but there is definitely a strong military presence in my area. I would probably not be able to capture more than a dozen provinces if I tried to blitz over them in a race to capture as much territory as I can. So I would not expect to benefit too much from the land grab, especially over my giant allies.
And yeah, I'm not overly interested in fighting a war with Niefelheim. As far as I'm concerned the game was supposed to be over approximately when Caelum capitulated, with me then providing the artillery I've been saturating caelum with to convince marverni that victory was not feasible. I think that if I tried I could put up a reasonable fight against you licker, but I am not really interested in trying to kill my allies. If you'd like to try to kill Yomi off though I could be persuaded to look for a sub
