Re: Thoughts about Pythium...?
In terms of interesting ideas for Pythuum its good to remember bless effects and that all your mages are sacred.
Want to go over to the dark side after all with Pythium? PoD with Death9 and some breath of winters to knock off your blessed mages and bring them back as undead with no upkeep. ooh and research terror as its amazing with death 9 - billowing black clouds of terror.
Feeling hasty? Water 9 for some speedy Vestals and mages.
Always running out of breath? Nothing like some some earth for reinvigoration to keep those communions running.
In general I think Pythium is one those races in which the basics of what you get are so good that you just need to work on getting the best out of what you have got. So I wouldn't invest in a rainbow pretender, which would just provide me to much to think about, but rather go for strong scales to get more of your stunning troops and Mages along with some bless effects for if you are feeling spicey. If I ever get around to playing Pythium I'll be giving the undead mages trick a go.
Cheers
