A small note on the Smoulder Ghosts - they are useful, but don't waste empowering or a pretender on them. Abysia gets a few national heroes which have both fire and death, so if you want them Luck is your best bet to help your chances. They are also important as Fire + Death gives you Skulls of Fire, a great fire booster at construction 6. If you get no national heroes that is potentially worth empowering for at some stage, though of course you want to find a death caster of some sort and empower with fire, rather than the other way around

Old age is a major hassle for abysia. If you plan to get a lot of warlocks I recommend growth 3, and potentially a nature 4 bless so you can shroud them if diseases. If you don't wish to invest in growth minimise the number of warlocks you recruit and rely on demonbreds.
