Time is not an issue, we can war til EoA :)
If time ever was an issue we would have withdrawn from fratzia after min time with 10k acre gain and whored our way up to #1 since we knew BiO+Rage would war each other. But we warred for 11 days and got 17k acres instead. We also have a more fun age this way!
We can play like that one more time. You hear that Dorje! ;-)
