 Atlantis had some really nice provinces. Moon Mages for Astral3, Death, Blood, and all Astral booster needs. A 20 Conj + 20 Ench site for Summons/Rituals. 'The Bowl of the Lost' for free Bane's. Plus a number with high gem income provinces. And all of them should have been easily obtainable/defendable from where Atlantis started (all on coast or in SE corner). Which is all yet another reason I think Atlantis missed out bigtime, and why I'm even more annoyed I had to drop them, and this game, on turn 1

 Think it's a great idea for Atlantis to trade for Water+Nature gems 

 but not so great if those gems just end up sitting there gathering dust 

 "Won't somebody please think of the clams", oh sorry I mean children 
 
But well played Chris + Jim. You were both in a very strong position when I subbed in, and that wouldn't have happened without good play and cunning diplomacy 

 So hat's off to you both (inserts a smilie lifting some sort of hat)
