Re: Boiling the Ocean (Organizing)
Arcane Nexus is a powerful spell, but hardly a "game breaker" for a land nation - or for a water nation that hasn't already conquered the water.
The issue here is that R'lyeh has already entirely conquered and consumed two other opponents, *and* is in the water, *and*
Serious opposition requires a player with a forge bonus site and the Forge. This player has to crank out underwater items, MR items and communion items (slave/master matricies) as fast as possible. Then, you go under water with an entire communion tricked out with anti-magic amulets and lead shields, heading up (lightning immune!) supercombatants and spamming shimmering fields as well as your own whole-battlefield astral spells (such as Arcane Domination.)
The issue is the *management*. Such a counterattack is entirely possible but is anyone really going to put it together? It's enough of a pain to do that on land.
