Re: Dud nations
The reason that someone will always mention Abyssia on such lists, especially late Abyssia, is that its benefits dont appear to some players. Its particular to the playing style. Of course all of the nations are to some degree which is something I LOVE about this game. But Abysia seems like a good idea for using the fire auras in head-to-head combat, then when they try it doesnt seem to work out as well as expected. Finding its other benefits involves working in areas that might not be apparent to the kinds of players who try it looking for a super army.
I think thats part of any nation. Anytime there DOES seem to be an agreement about a weak anything (nation, spell, units, strategy) it tends to make me focus on it to try and develop a use for it. I think that many of the expert players do the same thing but being an expert player tends to go hand in hand with not telling everyone when you discover such things.
