Default Re: Brainstorming Nation Strategies

MA Abysia:

1. Manually search for earth and astral ASAP to diversify from fire
2. Develop earth stone economy as quickly as you can. Late game weapons of sharpness
3. Build several soul contracts by end year 2 - demonbreds with devils are a potent raiding force and add mobility to otherwise very slow armies
4. Focus on blood research after early levels in schools are done
5. Rain fire evocs with devil + abysian troops armies
6. Spread dominion as much as possible, esp before a war, to get your heat across
7. Aim to get decent death in mid to late game (vampire counts probably) for Darkness
8. Leverage astral/blood mages to use horrors en masse as required
9. Target air nations early, or make them your allies. If forced to fight them later allies are good. Your best option against them 1:1 is through assassination (disease demons, mind hunt), battlefield spells (heat from hell, firestorm), prec 100 spells (incinerate, pillar of fire) with shock pretended mages. Your troops will get thrashed by shock evocs, standard infantry with falling fires support will get murdered..
10. Your PD is strong, use it if taking misfortunate scales or against weak raiders.
11. Take a Magic 1 scale and/or rush for lightless lanterns early. Demonbreds are ok researchers but your non-cap mages suck for it.
12. Protect important mages with Boots of Youth. Worth considering N4 bless to shroud diseased warlocks
