Heh, no no, I've tried that in another game where my allie agreed to have a massive battle royale, but after a turn of figureing out the logisitics of getting our mega armies inplace for it we both decided it wasn't actually worth the effort.
I'm sure you could cause me some problems, but honestly, I don't think I've lost more than 5 or 6 jarls all game, and I've been building them nonstop since probably turn 4, so I have over 50 of them, and some are earth empowered, many are boosted to A2 for CT and my packs of Niefels can warp around with either the flying ship or the gate stone.
Any dangerous looking thugs I have 4 or 5 different hunting spells to target them with, an dangerous looking armies which are not Caelean... can be torn to pieces unless they are cold immune, and I've even built up my fire mages to the point where I can spam fires from the sky remotely.
I'd love to hear from Radiogibbon though, he may have a wish factory going on, or any other number of silly Astral end game strats (though his gem income has been pretty poor all game, unless he's been claming like crazy) he wants to try out. I do have a Tartian factory going though, and will expand it to 2 per turn if I really feel like I need to
I've got anything I want researched researched, so I don't really even know what to do with my researchers anymore. I don't have a huge blood economy, but with the amount of blood mages I have I could turn one on at any moment if I really wanted/needed to, though it would take a couple turns to get the logistics of it worked out, and frankly, after playing LA Ulm I don't really want to bother with more blood economy micro nonsense.
My gem income is huge, and getting bigger as Caelum loses land to me, the forge is massively overcast at this point, but I have such a huge earth income (including blood stones...) that even if it went down I could put it up again easilly.
My only weakness is dominion, but what do I really need it for? I can freeze any province I need to attack, and its not as though either of you are running big heat scales anyway.
Obviously, since I seem to be winning, I'm happy to call this game, but I hope Marverni has something to try on me, though even if he can put a good sized and maged army or two out there, I can raid him (really anyone) to death while that army takes whatever overland spells I can throw at it.
I'm thinking I can be raided as well, but Caelum really didn't have too much overall success with it, and I have so many SCs and Thugs (haven't even mentioned my conjuration bonus site cranking out death summons like crazy...) that I can take stuff back easilly, and even garrison things if I really wanted to.
