There are some interesting concepts in here. I think the biggest obstacle to overcome is that you can't make the taking of other cabal items put the victor that much ahead or all you will do is force the pendulum to stop swinging in that cabalwar. There always has to be a viable counter-raid scenario and if all you are doing is piling power upon power to the winner it's not going to work. So long, and thanks for all the fish!
