Re: Don't change Oceania
The game that Oceania got the .5 win was an EA newbie game (Mara) that I was a part of. Oceania was unmolested for most of the game, and grew to a very large status. I was T'ien Ch'i and killed off Sauromatia early and then took up the majority of my landmass. Caelum was the other large power and I was working both ends towards the middle with Oceania and Caelum. I wanted to work with Caelum against Oceania, but wound up working with Oceania against Caelum. Yomi was the third major player in the far north. At the end of the game, the player from Oceania was running out of time to play, while Yomi and I were scrambling to figure out how to combat the Oceania behemoth.
Oceania had an ungodly gem income across the board. They also had some pretty fierce mages. I had borne the brunt of the fighting with Caelum so I was trying to rebuild a lot of my forces, especially my mages. When we finally came to blows, he was able to rain down a slew of magic from the skies. His big advantage was a lack of Yomi or myself to hit his power base in the oceans.
