Arcane Nexus -- Bugged?

[Ctennyson]

My armies are ALL outnumbered about 5 to 1.

Pangaea has a ton of massive stacks, Man is harrying me on 3 fronts, and Vanheim owns 2/5ths of the world, not to mention Ctis is on my other border, not sure if they are about to attack Vanheim or me. If my Nexus was working, I'd be churning out Ether Gates, but it doesnt seem to be. I will likely win the game, in the end, but I am losing ground badly right now.

I am throwing murdering winters and tidal waves at the opponents right now, and its slowing them down...

The truth is, I'm used to using Ermor, and as I say, I made a bunch of mistakes that cost me a ton. I have only about 18 provinces, and several of those are under attack, or about to be lost. my income is awful, which doesnt allow big armies to counterattack with. Magical might is mine, and I have the gems, but I cant cast most summons from below the waves, and I havent got a safe tower above ground to cast from.
