Frankly, I'm really surprised by this... I've only collected about 25% of the gems T'ien Ch'i has earned (plus a few from my random events). I only have a few more forts and provinces than you. My gold income is actually slightly lower than yours. I've seen the indy mages you've collected. And you've done twice as much research as I have...

Now, if I were playing against the AI, I'd feel confident against T'ien Ch'i. Because of that, this is the stage where I lose interest in my SP games. From this point on, the only experience I have to draw on is that which has been shared by others in the forums (which I admit to reading somewhat obsessively). I'm up against Baalz, man... the guy that wrote the guides that have gotten me this far.

From here, I can see that I will likely win my current war with Agartha, and if no one interferes I may even win against T'ien Ch'i. But Jarko is talking about me winning a complete DOGPILE... I can't even see that as a possibility. What am I missing?!?

...

O.K... just read the response that Baalz posted. Forgot about VoTD and I dismissed Mind Hunt because he's got so many strong Astral mages. His estimation of my net income is generous, but not that far off. You guys have a MUCH better idea of how things are likely to play out from here. Is my lead really that significant?
