No, because LP is running a cottage economy. Which grows over time.
Mackseven is running a specialist economy, which peaks much earlier and requires you to either hit all the critical economic techs first, or to hit a critical military tech and capture twice the land as anyone else.
LP already has the land, and is already above parity.

This is getting interesting.
Mack, plako and LP are going to carve up the NativeAmerican lands.
LP and plako (presumably) are going to carve up HAK (with plako getting the best of it, I think)
sunrise, Mali and plako (to a degree) are going to carve up Rome.
plako is going to do pretty well out of this, actually.
presumably, pindicator is going to take over moogle and then go meisz->yuris.
I guess the question is - will mack/plako and mali/sunrise/pindicator get together to take out LP or not?

Moogle, yes. Meiz and Slowcheetah, maybe. Yuri, no. Yuri isn't crippled, and he has an easy chokepoint to defend.
Edit: And wow, I could see whoever capturing Nero first getting their stack smashed by their opponent's stack, with the judicious application of combat workers. And I wonder if Sunrise has any 5xp units to take woodsman II? A single W2 mace could easily snatch Claudius through the jungle.

lets not pretend we have any idea how strong meiz or slowcheetah are - we haven't seen a picture in months. Granted, they probably are still fighting, which likely means they are both weak.
I agree about yuri, he's in fine shape.
Please don't go. The drones need you. They look up to you.

HitAnyKey's super spy is giving us more intel on the battle than anyone else:

Slowcheetah hasn't lost his core yet. Also, the ratio of scores between Slowcheetah and Miez hasn't changed in that whole month. I think it's fair to say they're at a rough stalemate.

Bets on if Ichabod is planning a sunrise backstab of some sort? Meaning - the offer he just made in the public thread is not intended to be kept by him? Kinda hope so actually, for a game that advertised "biggest dealbreaker" to be something you should strive for, we've had very little of that kind of thing.

The issue is that Sunrise is obscenely paranoid and will probably not get taken by surprise.

Yep. Bad memories rego  ?
But it's not particularly valuable to the two, as they're both land powers, with inland empires. Now Plako *really* wishes he'd have it.

They both do have coastal cities, and Rome does have those island cities....
