Restarted everything and went for it. The gold spawn was simply superb, with a spread like on Jebus, 2 nuisance stacks at the starting respawn, a road leading in 3 directions, and plenty of space for necromancy. Vidomina came in, who takes land at level 1, followed by Mondor doing the same. Quickly captured a secondary town, built cavalry, necromanced bit by bit, expertized Earth Magic for the necromancers, but on turn 124 news of surrender arrived.

Thanks for the game
