We're quite far into the game (turn 70 something) and everyone is more or less equal with everyone who is left. Gath is definately in the running as far as victory is concerned and is currently at war with Marignon and Mictlan.
Since the guy who needs replacing did not stick around to share info I'm unable to really share anything else in the way of info, but as I said, Gath is quite well off.
Anyhow, PM me if you're interested and we'll try to have you set up before the weekend is through.
