Dud nations

I disagree on one point, most so called experts that you talk to do what they can to give constructive advice and their opinion in matters.

I'm sorry, but perhaps you're thinking that a mass of overly-expensive Guardians of the Pyre and some Falling Fires casting scared, err I mean sacred, units are going to take anyone down with anything but late to end game noise, Gandalf Parker? Go play LA Abysia in MP. You expect them to use blood to summon what? Their troops don't radiate heat, and everyone will know what's coming once they manage to research up to decent fire spells that utilize their fire resistance. I'm still not understanding. They suck.

In fact, has anyone ever been overrun by LA Abysia? Has LA Abysia ever won a game? Hmmmm.

Have you even tried blood ? It is very strong in fact, and the ability to build blood hunters for 100 gold (and since they are sacred they cost half the upkeep) is a very nice trait. They have strong fire, astral and blood mages, and strong mages are pretty rare in LA, in fact there are dussins of worse nations out there. Sure they are not a powerhouse but they are not as weak as you think.
