Although I did have the most provinces, about a third were useless water provinces. IMO Sephorin would be the strongest player left at this point because of his globals and lack of strong opposition all game (not to mention his 115609 Maeneads). I also have ample access to astral magic so maybe I could've convinced Nightfall to attack Sephorin instead of me

Still I'm grateful for Sephorin's assistance in the beginning of the game when I was battling it out with both Vanheim and Eriu, I wouldn't have survived that otherwise!
Valerius, thank you again for starting and managing my first Dom3 multiplayer game. Although I'm getting a bit burned out on Dominions right now, I really enjoyed it quite a lot.
