Default Going down in style

Ok, the situation:
Multiplayer game using the ringworld map; turn 51; I am mitclan; fighting vs Arco, with Vanhiem a temporary ally, and Caelum a distracted neighbor.
All human players, with the exception of Ctis, who is an AI desert tomb theme distracting the Caelum player
At this point I have about 15 provinces, pulling in about 150gp after upkeep; get about 5 gems of each type (except earth) per turn; some of my provinces are wholly devoted to blood slaving (0 taxes). I am practically 100% reliant on blood to sustain my forces,

Caelum is about double my size, Vanheim is a little worse off than I, from what I can figure; score graphs are off.

Arco is plainly winning, owning the bulk of the provinces, and having cast Eyes of God and Wrath of God. I have advanced into his territory, and my army of fire9 blessed eagle warriors, cross breeds, and occasional summoned devil/imp/drake has been doing well, primarily because all I have been facing are summoned Angels of the Host, fladullents, and madmen. He is summoning them behind my lines.

My spies are deep in his territory, but so far have not found any labs/pretenders/candidate targets for deep summons.

At this point, my intention is to go down in style, making myself to be the biggest pain in the a$$ to arco that I can be, simultaneously learning as much as possible.

So, I ask the board: What cunning, diabolical, clever ideas can I use to make my opponent(s) life insufferable?

To this end:
I intend to crank up taxes to 200 on these recently conquered provinces, while blood hunting.

Pillage all new provinces

Once my spies find a lab/pretender/temple, attack via provincial disaster/summons Hordes from Hell, etc.

Continue the wanderings of my one and only army deep into arco territory

Unless I convince my neighbors to give me astral pearls, ignore the globals; likewise, will not cast Astral Corruption because of the high cost and high likelihood it will be dispelled.
