See, that's why scoreboards are not perfect for assessing the state of the game.
Here's how I see the other nations:
Caelum is sitting sandwitched between my lands to the N, NE, E, SE, and S, Disaster!'s Pythium to the NW, Euchrejack's Mictlan to the SW, and bordering(colonizing?) a lake to the West. Notice that most of it's borders are with me, and this hasn't changed much pretty much since we started duking it out some 30-ish turns back. Lorak played Caelum's strengths very well, and while never managed to invade and hold his conquests, neither could I. He uses the Elemental Royalty of Air and Water as supercombatants, and flying squads of mages with an escort as the riding parties. My pd used to be completely defenseless against massed(~3-4 mages) thunderstrike concertoes. Much less so while I've got the Gift of Health up and running.
The elemental queens have proven to be superior to Pinocchios in a one-on-one combat so far, but I'm having some success with Mind Hunting them whenever I get a chance. They do get resummoned, though.
Currently, I find his birdmen to be the hardest to bite, and without much boasting, I'd say that if not for him pinning me down, I'd be knocking at the gates of C'tis 'round now. Or so my propaganda says.
Caelum is at war with Agartha.
C'tis looks like a powerhouse, and believe me, it's going to be one soon, as slMagnvox is a veteran player, and he's giving his nation the Chinese treatment, pulling it out of the dark ages with maximum speed. It still needs a few turns to come up to full ability, as it's research is lagging behind. He's also at a disadvantage, having missed a lot of artifacts and possibly a few unique summons.
His lands are fortified like crazy, though, miasma is spreading fast, and he does feel able enough to take on Pythium, which he did just a few turns ago.
At war with Pythium.
Disaster!'s Pythium is, as far as I can tell, a giant with clay legs. His armies are huge, but not very well supported with mages, which begins to matter a lot these days. He does have a host of good super combatants, and can be really dangerous, if he puts his many mages to a good use.
Currently at war with Agartha and C'tis.
R'yleh is a royal pain in the neck, but it seems that only for Agartha. The tentacled monsters took way too many Pinocchios to keep count. More than Caelian clever tricks and trinkets did, I think.
His ability to mount a counterstrike is limited, though, and his Dominion is on a brink of dissapearing - but slowly, very slowly improving now.
At war with Agartha.
Marignon is involved in a war with AI Ashdod, finally getting the upper hand, and sweeping through the giant's lands, burning temples, and not caring to build any themselves, which is most likely the major factor in R'yleh's dominion surviving(Ashdod and Marignon are occupying the shores of Ignus' "homelake".
What he's going to do after he's done with the giants is a big unknown. He borders Agartha and Mictlan, in addition to the underwater nasties.
Mictlan just took over, and is trying to pull himself out of the Dark Ages, but he doesn't have such an easy task as C'tis does, having much worse and economy(i.e. less land, less mages, and less forts - the previous C'tis' player turtled like crazy, unlike the Mictlan's one). He's currently at peace with everybody, bordering C'tis(?), Caelum, Agartha and Marignon.
AI Ulm is practically gone.
AI Arcoscephale is certainly gone, and has been for a while now.
