That sort of graph is interesting. It seems to show that winning the game was not a foregone conclusion in the ordinary way (without alternate victory conditions).

Maybe I'm being unreasonable, but I think it would be neat if your alternate victory condition could be (1) dominion of at least "X" AND (2) dominion exceeds dominion of closest opponent by at least 40%.

This way, you would need to establish yourself as the dominant power in order to win.

I would like it if it was "dominion of at least X" and "Dominions exceeds closest opponent by Y%" and Y can be between 1 and 100.
But if this is hard to implement, I guess that is another issue?

That sure is skin of your teeth! It looks like you knocked out Mariagon and quickly rushed in to take over their areas. I love that boost you get right after another Pretender goes down. Last night I surrounded Miticlan and waited till their dominion faded away, then strolled in for a stack of gems and cash. My stats did a similar jump, which is why I was guessing it happened to you.

It was good strategy you used, you filled in the space they suddenly vacated. Of course, if you used a different strategy, it was also really good and I would be interested in your main plan.
