It looks like you just killed me, Thufir. Wiped out most of my main army, but I didn't expect things to go much differently. I don't have ready access to cheap SCs like you do, so I'm eventually going to lose badly.

Surely Edi you can summon Bane Lords... or better yet summon Vampires. IMHO Vampire Lords are excellent cheap SCs, and immortal to boot so if you wind up fighting a defensive war they are outstandingly cost effective.
I know Abysia does not have many death casters, but surely by now you must have some indep mages with death and blood... and once you summon one Vampire Lord, they can summon each other quite easily... all you need is a ton of blood!

Sorry to hear that Edi, if it helps any, I think that you've been doing a good job with your global spells, but clearly your army is in need of SCs (or SC chassis used as casters). Also, any of Soapy's suggestions are a good idea. I did (as may be obvious) take a page from a recent thread where Rain of Stones or Earthquake was a suggested spell vs. national mages. I actually had some difficulty employing the tactic, as I made a couple of errors in scripting/movement orders, but clearly the spell works quite well!
Personally, I don't think it's so much a question of how Abysia fares vs. Man, but rather Man vs Abysia plus Atlantis (plus Ulm, if you can, or have brought Soapy over to your side). Clearly, I out-resourse Abysia right now, maybe even Abysia plus Atlantis, but I don't think the outcome is a given if everyone is ganging up on me.
OTOH, if the game is no longer enjoyable for you, I would understand that. I don't think its outrageous to turn Abysia AI, or we can also look for a sub (especially if odd_enuf or Soapy thinks that that is important).
Let us know how you want to procede.
- Thufir
Edit:
I really hate to give my enemies any intel on what works against me, but I will tell you Last turn was a bad turn for me, and that both you and Atlantis contributed to the damage done.
