Ayup, gotta give props to Arco for excellent diplomacy, on all its borders.

Hey, the game is not over. Look at the thrones.
I had outrageous good luck at the start, I will tell you later. It was disgusting. The size it gave me helps compensate for my little experience in multiplayer endgame tactics. But saying I won and could steamroll anybody and everybody is a bit exaggerated. The reality vs theory ratio of my firepower is not great.

Isn't that called an amulet of vengeance? Might not be the same as changing grenade fuses from 5 seconds to 0.5 seconds.

I'm a simple, humble specter. If I could transform the Unholy Sepulchre into 15 Wells of Pestilence, I'd re-die happy.

It occurs to me that what you're asking for is essentially a slightly-more-proactive Astral Corruption...

So a local astral corruption instead of global?

Could I finagle an 8h delay? My plans to knock out the turn this evening have been derailed by last-minute family commitments that probably won't take all 10h between now and the deadline, but might.

Thanks.

Huh, that turn was not just far more successful than I imagined possible, but also far more entertaining.

And look at Oceania with those serious late-game shenanigans I was talking about!

Oceania has water. That lets them hit you and not get hit back. You know all your pretty only-defended-by-PD temples you've strewn about the lakeshore? Gone at their leisure unless you fort or manually garrison them. Oh, you want to hit back? Have fun summoning enough amphibians that aren't garbage to kill their quite-strong-underwater troops, and/or forging enough waterbreathing items that you can bring your not-as-good-underwater national mages to try to compensate for their quite-strong-underwater mages. And then you still have to siege down their forts with your limited troops or whatever indy chaff you recruit. With R'lyeh or Atlantis or such, the normal order is "containment", but the sea goats are mostly stealthy, so they can sneak onto land and raid away from shore unless you sink a whole lot into shore patrols - which they can hammer pretty well with proper troops (that they can assemble stealthily), and most maps are structured in a way that they can hit a lot of different provinces all across the map relatively quickly.
This is the only time you have gone into any kind of depth about oceania and nothing at all besides they can raid people to death. While I'm not surprised about the level 9 enchantment, oceania having a level 8 astral mage is a bit of a surprise.

Arco is probably not stoppable barring a a prompt dogpile coupled with some serious late-game shenanigans, and I don't see that happening.

Yes, you mentioned arco, but oceania was the one who just cast arcane nexus and gift of nature's bounty. But if you want to feel better about it, then go ahead and take credit for not saying I told you so.
The real question I have, does oceania get 0 gems if I forge items for 1 gem? or is it something like a 50% chance of gaining a gem?
