Nexus isn't a game-winner, certainly. It will only yield 1/4 or 1/8 (can't remember) of used gems (not slaves or pearls of your own) in pearls, so I would assume you and Boron have possibly even more astral income combined than I, with your clammy attitude. At least if Boron plays like he speaks, and it's not him who's dispelling Pangaea's enchantments.
Without Wish it's not quite as easy to turn pearls into useful things, so Panther's concerns are invalid to a point. I wouldn't necessarily agree with his assesment even in unmodded, but that's another discussion... My take on Nexus has sometimes been ignoring it and hunting down the schmoe that cast it, but I haven't seen a high-astral nation cast it before (figure that), so it's not necessarily the god or hero or ether lord who cast it. This small a game, I would possibly even ignore it if I wasn't an Astral nation.
All in all, I still think Chris has the strongest position, since Boron is completely and utterly devoted to helping him win. Indeed, I couldn't believe my eyes when he said
he declares war on
me! Without it, I would be happily destroying myself against Chris, and Boron would be the one eating up jeffr's remains, and in a very strong position against the one who would emerge victorious. He's a great strategic asset to Chris if used wisely, and Ulm still has the most lands and hence the greatest gem and monetary income, besides which I'm a total apprentice compared to Chris when it comes to building and destroying invincible armies. I'm expecting one kick-*** endgame if I can get Boron out of the picture by the time Chris is content with the state of Pangaea! Especially if Pasha compensates for Boron, and sides with me against the Evil Empire.
There's always something to be abused, so I wouldn't worry about it too much: that's one thing that's so fun with all these mods flying around, that you get to break a new toy every time!
On another note, weather conditions have prevented me access to my dominions-computer all day, so could you please extend the deadline a few hours? (I
should get to it on time, but I can't quite remember when the deadline was.) Pretty please? I hate to be a pain like this all the time, but some vacation this turned out to be: Instead of languishing in the sun and playing dominions all day I've been doing all sorts of odd jobs up here in the country. Fun, certainly, but eating up on computer-time! I guess I should get a sub, but this is too much fun and I've been managing a ~48h cycle so far. And I should have much more free time starting Tuesday.
