Easy, Ragnar... sounds to me like Fantomen was just giving you some good-natured ribbing.

Abysia does have a late age nation, Blood of Humans. But my advice is to pick one nation, and try to develop a strategy for it. Since you've chosen Pythium and it sounds like you've got some field testing done with them in single player, work with it and see what you can do.

You probably won't win the game, but you'll almost definitely learn something.
