Fun with Alternative Victory Conditions

[Saxon]

That sure is skin of your teeth! It looks like you knocked out Mariagon and quickly rushed in to take over their areas. I love that boost you get right after another Pretender goes down. Last night I surrounded Miticlan and waited till their dominion faded away, then strolled in for a stack of gems and cash. My stats did a similar jump, which is why I was guessing it happened to you.

It was good strategy you used, you filled in the space they suddenly vacated. Of course, if you used a different strategy, it was also really good and I would be interested in your main plan.
