I *usually* play mictlan with heat 3. But you don't have to. That being said, this will be an interesting game.

Whomever the niefle player is, as he spreads cold dominion naturally may well want to consider taking an abnormally high dominion, to help offset the ability of mictlan/lanka to blood sacrifice.

Still: Usually with a double+ bless mictlans scales are crappy - and you usually do not *want* to push them strenuosly. Waste of slaves; plus you're pushing your own crappy scales, on your own dominion.

Quite to the contrary. Since abysia doesn't *need* a bless, and can still blood sac, I would set abysia front and center and let him push dominion like mad.

Have mictlan and or lanka supply the blood knives, and blood slaves and have abysia build temples. By turn 6 you could be getting 20+ temple checks a turn and by turn 12 50+. Thats 20 candles every turn starting on turn 6. On a small map thats pretty devestating.

Combine with Rain of toads on Niefles capitol...

PS: Niefle is strong. I don't think its Lanka + mictlan strong - those are two very strong bless nations; this will make for a VERY interesting bless rush.
