   The other city taken was Avernus, indicated by the sign. Turn is almost done, couple of questions: - Did you want to finish the Uni in RC? I'm guessing not? - Any plans for the great scientist? - Where do you want to move that bowman featured in the screenshots?
I have to run.
How this game goes:
Any alternate sequences visible?

The only way for dtay to stop rolling over that continent is if he loses those units and can't replace them. Look at his stats, he is basically #1 in MFG, GNP and CY once we drop out of GA (although with us in PS and drafting we probably outstrip his ability to put boots on the ground, but he still has a tech edge that is only widening). The only way to stop him sending more units over is if we garrison our border to hte extent he has to keep everything home for defence.
That isn't going to happen, because we lack the ability to threaten his cities until we stack up a shitload of cannon. But he has cav, and we don't have units that can even defend with odds, so he'd just flank away all our cannon whilst murdering our stack/s. All we can do is force him to keep a certain number of units on defence until he gets Steel, build a bunch of cannon himself and then he'll need few enough units to defend that he can sail a good bunch of them back over to Pindicator to finish the job. And that's assuming Pindicator can actually kill a good bunch of those units in the first place, because I believe dtay has enough units over there already to take out the whole continent. Can someone else try to land troops to take anything from him? No. No one has Astro last time I checked, so it's an equal naval battle and no one else has cav, or a soldier number that is close to dtay. No one is stopping dtay taking that continent. It's his. At that point he'll have shrines that cover 50% of the world pop so is making, what, 400-500 gpt from shrines alone? Double our cities. More units. Better tech. We sure as fuck die if he wants us to. Maybe he doesn't, but once he kills us he has nothing to stop him from rolling over each continent one at a time on a path to Domination, holding something like 90 cities. It's the right choice to close out the game. In reality, I say play out the next 10 turns and if nothing goes badly for dtay (ie Pin dies, Cyneheard/Dreylin don't matter) the game can be called with no concerns IMO.
Has anyone ever won domination in a pitboss before?

I won Domination and Conquest on the same turn in PBEM4, but usually games just get called once it's "obvious". Thinking about PB games, I know that PB2 (Spullla), PB4 (Parkin), PB5 (me), and PB8 (Plako) would have all ended in domination, for instance.
I've revolted religion and civics (Taoism, PS/NH/Caste/FM/Theo). Steel due in 4. Our GNP sucks. We'll need to save gold for a while after Steel just to complete a 2 tech beeline. I've not moved anything except teh scouting units minu the bowman by dtay, and he is playing now. I'll play the turn later, because I need to add a bunch of labels to tiles for improvements.
