Re: abysia strategies
If you can get an Ice Devil by turn 15, and have him equipped by 19, your blood hunting/research strategies are just fine.
Personally, I wouldn't put Soul Contracts on scouts, I'd put them on the Demonbred that will be leading the Devils. Why waste time gathering them up, when you can have them spawn right where they need to be?
Abysia doesn't necessarily need to be played Blood first. They can also, if you like, do some nice things with fire magic and their innate fire immunity. Their infantry is slow, as you noted, but it is quite potent.
Don't overlook Hordes from Hell. Being able to call down 20 Imps and a Devil wherever you need to is a nice ability, and the Devil makes a fine commander for other devils.
