Re: Baalz' guides

Having run EA Caelum with mistform/shockwave, let me tell you - EA Abysia is about the last person you want to be raiding. Burning ones, even unblessed burning ones, are going to cut through mistform like it was butter, and won't die easily to shockwave. Even Aby PD is going to hold up reasonably well with high damage infantry. That's just bad news for EKs.
I can't imagine the Oreiad has it any better, in fact I'd imagine it has it worse. And requires more research to get going!
Also, assuming you snagged evo, fire magic is great for popping mistform from range. But if you go with Thau instead like I recommended, you get Bonds of Fire, which totally owns thuggery like you're suggesting. 0 defense + high strength attacks = dead thugs. And your PD mage can cast it on his own!
With great PD and a great early rush counter in fire with low thaum, I wouldn't consider EA Aby especially rushable by anyone. I can't think of a single rush that high damage troops and bonds of fire doesn't stop cold.
