Re: Dud nations
LA Abyssia still gets warlocks, and warlocks still rock.
The Guardian of the Pyre compares fairly to most *late era* sacred units. His purpose is not to kill the enemy - with a 4N blessing he's a good shield wall to prevent the enemy from reaching your anathemants who are spamming fire magic.
LA Abyssia is an extremely poor sacred rusher - so if you evaluate all nations according to face-hugging potential, it stinks.
But it's in the late era for a reason - by the standards of late era nations, their magic is extremely powerful. Their military is uninspiring, but that's fair to balance their devastating magic. I'll admit that LA Marignon is better in most ways.
That said, I'm working on spells for every era of abyssia.
