Yeah, the noob team's resource advantage just keeps growing and growing as the turns go by. Occasionally there is a minor resurgence, but then it is quickly squashed. Overall per turn incomes have been even more skewed than my reports have been letting on for some time now. Unless they have a significant undocumented gem income, they are very, very far behind. The question at this point is, can atul and thedemon win simply by virtue of being better at the late game than the noobs. At this point it is clear that the few remaining other vets are on their way out, so the noobs control the vast majority of the land.

However no one has been able to put anything even resembling a dent in atul yet. The only thing he's lost so far is his god, and if we're being fair here, I don't know that the noobs could have killed it without it autorouting and dying due to the turn limit. He has just run into his first significant noob nation though, and seems to be slowing down a bit. We'll have to see how things go over the next few turns.
