abysia strategies

[Edi]

Cohen, I'm starting to get sick and tired of your whining about Abysia being weak. In my VERY FIRST mulstislayer game (and with relatively little SP experience) I'm playing Abysia and I'm one of the top nations so far. Not the most powerful, but maybe in 3rd or 4th place.

I'm using a Scorpion King with E6F4, Order 2, Prod 3, Heat 3, Magic 2, castle, and while I've not managed to max out everything the way Graeme described (and I've used a slightly different priority on research early on), I'm not in a difficult position by a long shot. Ulm is giving me trouble, but that's because Soapy had a Forge of the Ancients up for a good long while before the astral nations came up with the capital to dispel it. I've lost a couple of armies to Wrathful Skies, but it's not deterring me one bit.

I'm not playing to the fullest extent of Abysia's capabilities by any measure because of my inexperience, yet I'm doing well. If I were to give a setup like this to someone who has extensive MP experience (like Graeme), I'd bet even money on him winning the game. I won't, because I just don't have enough experience of MP to manage against some of the people in that game.

If I can do this, in my vbery first MP, Cohen, it just means that you are completely plain incompetent with Abysia.
