This is the right general advice but the wrong nation. Pythium is a communion-dependent nation - by its very nature complex. You're better off playing like Man or Pan who are straightforward in both magic and military.
Edit: swapped out Aby for Pan cause aby has blood. Basically just trying to point out nations with fairly restricted magic paths and fairly obvious troops. |
Just for the sake of being awkward:
Pan also have Blood in EA and MA. Pan's Blood is a bit like Pyth's communions though - they aren't obligatory but they're something you can use to wring the last drops of power from the nation. And of course in the long term you'll want to learn a little about both.
