Writeup ahead, this was my 2nd MP game and I learned a lot and had tons of fun. Thank you /domg/ and blitzmin <3

I went imprisoned Enchantress and had balanced bless/scales
Bless: shock/fire/cold res; reinvig, undying x5 + enchanted blood, blood surge, Heroism x3
Scales: Dom6 Heat2 Prod2 Growth2 Drain2.

My idea was to fuck around early with my Knights, and use the scales to set up a lategame. Drain was really cool because Monks are immune and I monkmaxxed all game (see research tab in subsequent posts :^)
Retrospectively I was probably way stronger during the early and midgame than I thought and could have been more aggro, still it was super fun to turtle research with 3 globals!

I spawned on a Turkey looking peninsula and had river borders to C'tis in the northeast and a massive river as border with Shinuyama and T'ien Chi to the southwest. This river had only one chokepoint province and taking this province won me the game. My first mistake as early as Turn 2 was buying Mercs to take UW provinces in my capcircle, because I thought I needed them for ressources. After I saw that the UW province was in R'lyeh's capcircle I messaged him that I needed it for knight production and outed me as a massive noob, because as you probably all are aware, Land forts cannot draw from UW provinces and vice versa.
At first R'lyeh wanted to send me gold for the province, but he probably soon thought "why pay this noob when he makes mistakes like this" and told me to fuck off.
