Tien Chin scouts have spotted a 1080 unit Pangean army at 264, 2 provinces away from the gates of the imperial kingdom.

The cavalry doesn't always arrive on horseback. I remember this John Wayne movie when the settlers circled the wagons as the Native Americans rained down arrows. Suddenly, out of the sunset came a thundering force of John Wayne and 100 men riding giant stunted rutabagas...

Your fear is rightly justified, Tien Chi. The "rotting-orange-peel" strategy is indeed considered vastly superior to the laughable "Chalice-Assisted-Tartarian-Supercombatant" (CATS) strategy your doomed nation has banked upon.

It is Pangaean civic policy to spay and neuter all CATS.

I really don't know why Ylvali quitted. Even after that many turns AI Atlantis is still fighting back while beset on all sides by 4 players. Or is there someone secretly supplying the AI with money and gems?

Only through the land they've taken from me.

Pan is paying off the Atlantis AI to give us trouble. He sent them a small fortune and a bundle of magic goodies to do so.

Sure beats giving up your land and losing your armies for nothing like a sucker, eh?

Of course. I mean Atlantis is just a puppet; they can't be faulted.

Pan is the nation to be held accountable. Just because he can't be number one, he gives large sums of resources to a neighbor. Doesn't seem very pretenderly-like, does it? More of a metagame issue, I think. It seems that any REAL pretender, actually REALLY playing within the bounds of the game universe, would fight and claw to the last scrap of land; not give up and give away resources to a neighbor.

Strangely enough though, 'first past the post' systems are what breeds third party politics. Fighting for godhood is a bit different from constructing political power strategies though; as personal godhood rather than party power is at stake. As natural human players, it is tempting to create third party political fabrications; but I think it is probably metagaming given the goal of the Dominions universe.
