Gem Income:
ACGHHS 163, Devas 252*
Research:
ACGHHS 24192*, Devas 18515
Dominion:
ACGHHS 782, Devas 883*
Army Size:
ACGHHS 2515*, Devas 2492
Verdict: Deva's lead in 4 of the 7 categories, have a lot more provinces and the lead in the army size by ACGHHS is really quite small. While ACGHHS has a good research lead, the Devas are closing the gap. Both teams still have an equal shot to win, but I see the Devas in the lead at this point in the game.

Its the province count thats killing us.
and the gem count is both better and worse probably than your statistics account for. After accounting for globals, its something like 193:275.
And this is of course exacerbated by ulm's forge bonus.
I'm actually very happy with how our team is performing, and in a normal game we'd be either first or a close second. But, this is shaping up pretty much as expected. The only hope to beat hinnom is ganging up on him something like a 2:1.
And, in a team game maybe the best you can do is a 3:2. Im not opposed to hinnom being in games - but the problem that the choice mechanism weighted hinnom the same as any other good nation (formoria, neifle, Sauro etc).
Perhaps in the next installment we can use a point bidding system.
Each team gets 10 points. They can freely bid for nations.
They get however many nations they can afford.
So for example, if three teams bid for Hinnom, and the highest bid is 7 points... that leaves them 3 points whether that gets them one more nation - or 3.
this might have set teams up like:
Hinnom .....Sauro....Vanheim
Ulm.........Pan......Helmheim
............Arco.....Formoria
HOWEVER, that being said- I don't in anyway want to quit on this game. The Devas have a 50% advantage in gems and provinces - and they are pressing it against the Blesseds. Can they do it against the whole world? Will they have to ? = )
