So I'm assuming that people are ok with conceding? I would still like to hear from Man before calling it.

And to Cortinthian, well played indeed. You capitalized on the quick expansion and never looked back. I actually had two builds for this game, a SC and the dormant rainbow + scales I took. I had so good results expanding in tests that I thought I could manage with the regular troops - well, I don't remember when was the last time I had so poor results in the actual game. You can believe I missed my combat pretender at that point..

Then Atlantis and Patala out expanded everyone else, and while Atlantis could be contained, we couldn't deal with Patala at the same time. Afterwards it was too late, gem + gold lead combined with good play was enough to counter anything I tried. Those earthquakes and solar brilliace just shredded my armies and ready access to earth magic is not good for the poison golems either. I think it was my zmeys that did most damage (surprise!), but obvioisly I wasn't going to have enough of them to matter.
