Abysya is very weak indeed.

Weak? You might want to try playing a different nation if you think Abysia is weak. They are one of the best nations for raw power out there.

Your best mages are capitol only, and cost a lot for what they do.

No, they don't cost a lot at all. Apprentice warlocks cost 150 gold. Most other 2/1 mages cost 140 gold. Warlocks cost 270 gold for S2B3?1. Black sorcerors cost 250 gold for F2E2D1?1. Panii cost 350 gold for E2N3?1. Neither of those two are fire immune.

Your infantry is very costy but its morale 10 makes them very breakable.

They have morale of 11 and have enough priests to make it a non-issue.

Usually Abysya if rushed find itself to be forced to defend with Pretender and if it can manage to blood hunt his same capitol to summon 2-3 fiends.

No, they would defend with 30-40 Abysian infantry with morningstars and anathemant dragons and salamanders..

And you can't replace your loses even if you win at a good rate because your men costs 20 gold and 27/30 resources (don't look at humanbred light infantry, they die without doing nothing full stop).

Sure you can. You can built 7 or 8 per turn.

Re: I love Arcos!!!

Seriously, Cohen... if you think Abysia is so damn weak, how come you never play anything else?

Re: I love Arcos!!!

I'm playing a game with Arco, another with Pythium, another with Man, another with Caelum.

I like Abysya.
But I find other nations I'm trying stronger than Aby.

Re: I love Arcos!!!

My apologies, Cohen. I stand corrected.

This makes Abysya really weak in early stage, and is weak both in middle stage.
In late game if it has many devils and soul contracts could be well settled. But it has to survive.

Wow I thought by now we knew that nothing is very weak and nothing is very strong. Everything has plenty of power when played by someone who isnt trying to force it into a some other strategy/tactic method of play.

Abysia weak early? A race which can operate so well in a powerfully harsh dominion? Surely an extreme heat scale and powerful dominion push makes early Abysia able to hold its own.
