Sorry, but I only played one game in SP, and didn't even hire a bunch of units available to the nation.
There's so many other things LA Pythium can do, like make Fever Fetishes with a Heliodromus, cast an early Mother Oak with a N3 Serpent Priest, actually use your Epoptes healers (they can't heal the PoD! And since they are heretics, they either belong on your front lines or in one of your quarantine labs), etc.
A definitive guide should mention all that and more.
