yeah that didn't work out so good. honestly I thought you had more than you had as far as tough SC-type dudes go.

I agree we waited too long - I wanted to finish up Arco so that I wouldn't have to worry about him attacking my flank, but it cost us in the end.

ah well, next time maybe we'll do better

I had several more, but they were not within flying distance of the province where the battle took place.

Man and I started planning our war against Pangaea something like 30 turns before we attacked him, and I'm pretty sure that was a mistake. We waited too long.

I agree on this. After 2 early wars I was in a bad shape, my research was way behind, I had nothing but regular armies and my infrastructure was virtually non-existent. But by the time you've attacked I had my armies almost ready. I would prefer to have 2-3 peaceful turns more, but that was ok, I just had to sit for a couple of turns in my forts while you were beating my money-eating outdated armies

Well, I already had all the ice devils summoned by the time C'Tis died, so what you would have mostly gained was not having to deal with the 8 soul contracts I had working.

maybe what we should have done was to get Mictlan to attack Pan, but me not attack Abysia until I had cleaned up Arco. Since Abysia didn't connect anywhere with Mictlan he might not have been able to jump in with much force. However, hindsight is 20/20.

Honestly I think one of the reasons why I hesitated was because I had a bad feeling about attacking you guys.

What I really want to know is just how many clams and what kind of astral income R'Lyeh had by the end. It must have been huge by turn 80. Pan and I also had an alliance, and were almost certain that Man and Mictlan were allied, so as soon as Mictlan began attacking Pan I would have jumped in and started attacking Man.

What we should've done was attack Pangaea while he was still fighting Caelum, since the birdmen would've been a "free" ally at that point, though from what I saw, Caelum's war machine was rather underwhelming...
