At this point I realized that there were enough thrones in or next to my territory that I could just claim them and win.

I pinged the closest thrones with scouts and it looked like the throne with the fairies and fey would be easiest to take.

I spammed it with fire elementals and claimed the throne of gaia which was very nice as my scales had neutral growth.

I also got lucky and managed to pick up a treelord staff from one of the fairy queens which coupled with some indie jaguar tribe gave me nature access. Summoning trolls tribes also gave me death access.
