Thanks, it has to be the "water cult" theme then. Because the leader is not magical at all (only priest lvl 2).

Yeah - I spent 50 points on water cult.

Of course, that meant I started in the middle of the largest continent

Well at least that was a "benefit" to me. And I loved that tactic of waiting until I took that nice rich water province for myself before you decided to take it from me. Grrrr!!
