LA Pythium

[Randvek]

I've been using hydras with a strong fire bless in MP, and what you can take with only 4 hydras is truly disgusting.

I'm not convinced Hydras even need a bless (they don't seem to get much from any of them). Then again Pythium is well suited to bad scales because it can control its own dominion using heretics. You could take drain and install all your researchers in a heretic heavy province, where it won't affect them.
