How does Heat scale hurt Abysia? Basic theme gets three scale's worth of points free by taking Heat+3! Are you thinking of the theme Blood of Humans, which is not allowed to take Heat +3, or do you mean the effect of colder seasons?

Plus the fact that you need to establish "slave hunt grounds" with controlled unrest and not too much pop loss, all this go rather toward a Growth scale !

You still pay full price for Growth, but get only one of its effects... Abysia does not lose as much from Death as most other nations, and gains less from Growth as well. Small population growth is not enough to pay 40 points, IMO. And you don't need toestablish blood income, as Abysia can fare nicely even without. In the early game, at least. And if you expand fast enough, you can just hunt some provinces and then move to the fresh ones after population goes under 5000.
