Alright, it is turn 10 (we will be going to 40 hours as of turn 11).
Time for my score graph analysis:
Expansion vs. Indies phase is almost over (36 indies left)
Expansion/all out war vs. AI or between human teams becomes increasingly likely. It should be pointed out that war between teams is not yet completely necessary at this juncture and could leave the parties in a weakened state. Victory conditions allow for any team (including the AI) to actually win the game.
C'tis and TC are tied for province leader at 18. Good job by the crafty Ano.
The Usurpers Mictlan is doing very well at 17 province. This must be due to the courageous Algae Nymph.
Atlantis is hanging in there at 13 provinces. How's it going Zegc? Looking for more discounts and services soon. Maybe buy one, get one free or something.
Among human team members, C'tis unsurprisingly leads in gold income, and Shinuyama leads in gem income.
An AI start has fallen, and the Supplicants have picked it up. Giving them 5 VPs overall (22 needed to win).
It's mostly downhill for the AI from now on. They've will likely have reached their maximum expansion very soon.
Good luck!
