Pythium rocks both magically and militarily.
Principe and Emerald Guard are both superb troops, and the others are pretty good as well.
Hydra rock.
Arch Theurgs casting quickness-orb lighning are great. Make a bunch of communicants, and 'super size' those orb lightnings!
For a bit of early game abuse... make 8 communicants and stack them with some therug acolytes. Have the acolytes cast communion master and then Smite X4. Not bad considering it takes zero research! However in a long fight you will kill the communicants via communion fatigue.
Theurgs can cast quickness-aim-star fire, for a bit of low cost/low research magic shooting.
As the game goes long the communicants can super charge the Arch Theurgs for an enormus number of battlefield spells. Storm Warriors/Wrathful Skies will put the hurt on most enemies.
Always remember that the Arch Theurgs can move anywhere using Cloud Trapeze.
Theurgs can cast Paralyze, Arch Theurgs can cast Soul Slay. With communion or Light/Banner or the North Star, upgrade to Enslave Mind. Astral magic pretty much rocks!
Pythium has one of the biggest boxes of toys in the game. Enjoy it!
