Not completely factored in is how the 3 dummy positions affect matters. I think actually now that I review those spots, the non-selection of the Gnome works hard against Will and I commented on that sort of thing in discussion with Cipher earlier on whether this variant should be offered. Who on Will's side is going to take Runnimede, a nice region. I'm interested in the thinking of no one claiming the Gnomes.
But then, how will Thanatos stop control of the Talking Mountains with no Dwarves involved? The third excluded kingdom, the Trolls, might be in part to the fact neither player expects the game to last past T10.
Each turn past turn 7, I give Thanatos ever increasing chances, starting at 50% then. Say increase it 5% per turn then, so by Turn 10 its 65% likely Lord Thanatos wins. Its over by Turn 15 I think in any case - and more likely before T10 outside of outright stubbornness.
I'd love your thoughts on the selections Kalrex and I made. Similar issue with the GN and TR, but in ours we have swapped Dwarf for the UN and the mix is, in my opinion, a little more balanced.
