Hmmm...I'd be curious to hear Valerius's opinion on this (if he's reading
) since he was the player I alluded to playing MA Abysia. I was quickly finding my border provinces going up to 7-9 black candles and a few raider vamp lords skelly spamming made short work of my interior defenses in the raids that occurred along with Black hearted-vamp assassins. Like anything, there are counters and in this game as I mentioned I had some lucky sites and advantages, but it seemed like an interesting way to play Aby that might have overwhelmed me had it gone on longer or perhaps been the focal point of the strategy at the inception of the game (my sense was it was more of a strategy shift mid-game).
