What do you like to do when you're not dead yet?

Gandalf, are you actually saying you've been reduced to no provinces and kept playing?

I rarely keep playing that long, but I know one of the messages you get when an AI loses is something about not ruling any provinces. I'll grant that the AI is unlikely to have stealth preachers hidden away, but I assumed the message was specific about the cause.

Should be near impossible to actually destroy Vanheim then. Uber stealth preachers hidden throughout the world and just watch the rest of the game.
Lack of income will eventually remove any troops, but shouldn't effect commanders.
