The more times you say this the less it is true, my friend. Other Lurian realms, though lazy and boring, aren't stupid. 
This, and the fact that
Malus has zero interest in dominating Luria, and has said—and attempted to demonstrate—this from the beginning. Domination means exposure, and exposure invites unwanted attention. I just want a realm after the old fashion—realm-as-team—that can also be arsed to collect and sell its grain to the banker in an orderly fashion, and a Luria made up of single-city realms that can stop the cycle of endless cannibalization. Anyone who chats with me outside of the game knows this is my only real "issue", and something I'm perfectly happy to let bleed through into the character of Malus himself. If the other Lurias were dumb, it would be counterproductive to my own goals.
