Indypendant, army size counts for a lot less than you might think in the late game. One of my commanders, with two pieces of mediocre equipment, and three spells (Had he cast the fourth, he would have been fine) nearly stopped Oceania's army, which included a huge number of sea trolls and one very powerful sea king.

Err, I agree actually. But one of my points was that army size is the *only* thing Tien-Chi equals Oceania on. In every other respect--gems, research, castles, etc--he's at most achieved half of Oceania's score.
And I happen to know that he's wasted literally *hundreds* of gems these last ten turns or so on me alone, trying to take me out earlier than he managed to. So not only does he produce half Oceania's gems, he's lost a ton. I have no idea if or how many gems Oceania has used up on Yomi so far--but I do know that Oceania has two-point-five gem-producing globals up (the astral gem generator sucks--sorry, Oceania : ).
And then you threw in the towel and stated it's pretty much game-over for yourself. All Tien-Chi's (probably) doing is playing more mind-games in an attempt to take away the pleasure I'm obviously (and publicly!) taking, for my part (however small or large it was) in helping to bring him down. --Oh, there's a chance he's even telling the truth as he perceives it; however, once you've proven yourself a liar, *everything* you say becomes suspect, and the charts just don't support his outrageous claims.
That having been said, I was rooting for you too, Yomi. ; ) You or Oceania winning would have suited me fine, and I'm glad you enjoyed yourself! I've decided to join two more MP games, mostly to make sure it isn't the small-minded pricks that have turned me off them. *shrug* We'll see. I might even see you there; I would be happy to play against you again. --I also promise to be less...emo? Not the right term, but best I can come up with atm...much as I've enjoyed calling Tien-Chi out and dragging his butt into the light. I'm hoping revealing his nature did him as much harm as staying alive as long as I did--but that I'll probably never know, for certain. Oh well.
Have fun!
