10:08 I will explain what happened in my later messages but it was a funny coincidence. Tidal wave on the Life Throne was completely natural and the unrest spike Warpc is talking about was my misclick. I accidentally moved all Dream horrors to his throne instead of moving only one for scouting. The good thing is that it is impossible to tell if there are 20 or 200 dream horrors on top of the province because unrest is capped.
I bet Pangea talks about Nexus + GoNB being cast 'too early' because they came online before major Gath vs Xibalba battle. If they'd wait a bit more (2-3 turns) then after that huge battle one side of it which suffered a defeat (most likely Xibalba) will be a lot more on board with joining Nexus team's side, or in case of Gath getting defeated he would get more on defense against Xibalba on one side and Pan + Erythia on the other, acting more passive and not getting any more thrones than he captured before (5 I believe).
20:19 I don't mean in this message that I am in the second place. I fully realize Gathian enormous power level. It is, in fact, higher, than even what you can see. And yeah,. I am thinking that Pan might outscale Gath but not too soon. But if there are two objects (biggest powers), one is always the first and another one is the second depending on which one you start counting from :)
To me it looks like that Pan behaves like he does only because he decided to ally himself with Erythia long ago and now just acts in accordance. But to his disappointment Ery can't lift his weight and now Pan needs to fight Gath AND cover for Ery, - terrible position. So, to me it looks like he should have had all the agreements he has now with Ery with Xibalba instead. Xib + Pan with GoNB and Nexus is unbeatable combo. But ofc, I am totally not sure if it was possible 20 turns ago to arrange that. And 20 turns ago Pan probably was thinking that Xiba more or less were equal to Pan, so he wasn't sure he can empower him insread of weak Ery. But again, Ery appeared to be TOO WEAK.
This is probably where the personal relationships among players starts grating against some of the political science theory behind rational national actors, and you can frequently see this in international relations too. The primary issue that I could see was trust between Pan and Xib. As Xib, even if you try to help Pan/Ery now, they've shown they'll turn on you at the most inconvenient of times so you may as well just suit yourself. In my view, I agree that Pan needs Xibalba now in the coming fight much more than Erytheia, and he also needs the hell war with TC to end so he can redirect forces. However, he views Erytheia as his victory condition, is less scared of Erytheia, and trusts Erytheia more. Whereas from the Xibalba perspective, Xib has a mind state that Pan/Ery are your enemies which was created by the timely wipe of movement commands turn 1 of a war. You're also not going to believe Pan was ever coming to your aid when they then followed it up with game winning globals instead of nap cancellations with Gath. Additionally, Perpetual Storm is the dagger that you feel every time you try to move something and script something. So even if you were to try and help them again vs Gath, they'll just turn on you afterwards as they've made it clear you aren't in their club.

This must be one of the longest lasting "Finals" of anything ever xd

Ah, so the second biggest power as in the other biggest power, not second place in the competition for biggest. That makes sense.

Out of curiosity, will indie necromancers with the "corpsestitcher" trait heal feeblemind on tarts?
In Dom 6, definitely
9:52 I think it is more about the feeblemind effect
At last!🎉
Yeessss
I think you missed a few battles but those were not really important
