probably voice of tiamat is more cost effective ( almost 50% of all sites for the cost of 9 water gems right ) ?

8 water gems, even better. Not sure what % of sites, exactly. All elemental, in any case.

Btw, while I don't think acashic is normally all that good, at 25 astral, but as i mentioned, you have inspired me to try out a Pythium conj rush so thanks for the idea, in any case =)

thnx for opening my mind against accashic too

if you are successful with pyhtium would you say me what pretender you took and the scales ?

because my main problem with pythium is they are a bit unflexible
principles are good but at the moment i see no use for any other pythium unit
serpent cataphracts are very expensive with ~60 resource costs , for the same you get 3 principles which are better

emerald guards have ~30 resource costs + strat movement of 1

the hydras i consider as too expensive


so in conclusion at least for early-midgame my army mainly consists of principles .
they take out indies very well and are only a bit vulnerable for crossbowfire .
but they are not very quick so flanking units are a real problem

i guess i either focus on ryhleh now or a blood nation first
