EA Abysia - Looking for advice, and bread

[Jazzepi]

Abysia's troops aren't demons. They have the Misbred troop which is a flying demon, but that's the only one, and they aren't a staple force. Generally just used to raid as mentioned by Sandman.

Micah pretty much got the idea on what's ideal for Abysia ea. I use the same scales except I take no growth and one misfortune only. Magic diversification was largely ignored by me, aside from the straying into construction for lanterns and dousing rods, I pump the majority into evocation for falling fires and fires from afar, and then go into pure blood. My early game consists of sacreds backed by heavy troops to eventually having indies take other indie provinces while my main army bulks up with summons and cap troops. You cannot play passive with EA Abysia for long, once you can get a comfortable blood economy going you have to go for the throat of a neighbor.

Also I should point out, if you can get the research fast enough for it, e9 blessed ethereal burning ones can take out almost any standard army early on.

Two words from me. I didn't play a lot with this nation, but it's got plenty to offer.
I hate bless strats - lame...

Myslef I like go blood and damn expensive but still deadly devils spamming through 'soul contracts' (each 65 blood slaves and 5F gems). Some imps summoning to get devils some support against massed armies & priests casting banishing. You can mix all of that with those national demonic flyers. This can work fine in larger games, with more provinces wich are harder to defend.
As a pretender - Blood Fountain, high dominion, great scales with no death, magic 3.

Smaller games I'd recommend salamandeders mixed with shieldless axe guys on your wings, trying to flank the enemy with speed 7 Middle field with shielded gus, cheap mage support with fireball (my favourite spell here).

Both kind of games, I'm allways searching for fire magic sites using spells - fire gems are pure gold wich is never too much.
I do not concentrate on fire summons, blood path provides them.
But going back to blood eco - this is the most difficult part... but you've got strong flyers to patrol and lots of gold to afford it.

Just two words from me, as I'm bored at work - I'll edit that as I'm back home, maybe with some more details and less chaos
