Yes, of course it's been asked before, but...

If Ermor didn't have such a large gem income (at default world richness, at least), you'd really be dead. But your Crone will be able to Empower in Death in only a few turns... so if your lab is still there by then, you can actually stand a very slim chance.

If you "cheat" by pitting Weak AIs against Indep 9, maybe you'll even do it...

Yeah, but it's still sadistically hard, and you won't be able to do ANYTHING at all for many, many turns. And this is supposed to be sadistically hard. Cheating by using Weak AIs against Independent 9 would be defeating the purpose. You have to play with all impossible AIs on poor richness map with independent 9!

Preferrably with all 17 nations, on my "Horrible 17 Province Test Map".

Okay, so maybe the independent setting is completely irrelevant on a fully loaded 17 province test map.
