				 Re: A new, different approach to :LA Pythium 
 Perfectly valid criticisms.
 Here's my answers.
 
 Yes, its difficult.  You're trading for front end growth - so  hopefully you'll bea large empire.
 
 You will have hordes of dominion killing heretics.  Your goal will be to keep dominion low throughout your empire - whether yours or someone elses.
 
 If someone attempts to dom kill you .. you have to preach dominion elsewhere in your empire.. sort of like playing dominion whack-a-mole.
 
 While he plays dominion kill .. Choose the most likely dominion killer neighbor..
 
 As for abysia.... yep, the gigs up if you play next to abysia and can't negotiate a treaty.  You pretty much have to go for a hydra strategy at which point....
 
 LA-Ryllah is not a problem so long as you keep him in the water.
 
 On the flip side you'd have pretty good chances at a early rush at niefle in a multiage game - and not many setups can say that...
