However, you did not address my remark regarding the AI and Abyssia. From my own eperiences I have yet to see an AI Abyssia rampaging with large numbers of devils, devils being your proposed substitute for cavalry. Even playing Abyssia I have yet to get a powerful blood magic economy, but perhaps this is more a function of my inexperience with playing this nation and blood magic in general.
I haven't managed a blood economy even with Mictlan but let me assure you, I've just had a human Abysia opponent overwhelming my Vanheim with devils, primarily. I'd have to agree that Abysia doesn't really need cavalry. Unless their blood magic is taken away. (hopeful smile)

The only problem with independent archers or any independents for that matter and Abyssia is the heat generation. If you do not micromanage, or if you are careless you will end up roasting your own independents, this is particularly frustrating with blood slaves.

Yeh, it's kind of understandable with the independent troops, imo, but having the blood slaves all get frozen or burned up by the mages who in theory intend to use them is ... insane.

But then, that's why we have great Artificial Insanity in Dom2.
