Well I think that if anyone has any serious plans to win the game you had best attack Mictlan, all out, in the very near future. My days of being in a winning position have well and truly passed. I shall make a defence, of sorts, and eat up some of Mictlans chaff and hopefully take down some of their pretty blood summons but they will be able to replace them with ease.
Neifelheim, whilst Machiavelli might have urged making oneself indispensable to your chosen prince there is no prize for coming second in this game - how about you engage in some wanton back stabbing ?
You could follow Mictlan's example ....
