That was my 1st mistake: I thought I could take the Ogre Kingdoms, and shortchanged myself on research to pursue that war, which left me in a very vulnerable position when that war ground to a stalemate (a stalemate that I think the Ogres would have won eventually, if it was just the two of us).

Live and learn... (die and learn...)

You probably COULD have taken the ogres. I suspect that I kind of threw a wrench in your plans. However, the ogres, instead of waiting for me to help them finish you off, proceeded to attack me with full force instead of helping me gank you. Needless to say, I think that kind of ruined my chances of being a real major power, since it became a long, drawn out, draining war that didn't really break till Stygia arrived.

I don't know, I think you still have a chance. You just have to consider very carefully how to proceed from here. There are a couple of options that I could see bringing you to greater power, and possibly eventually contending for the throne of Pantokrator.
