hope so, sounds like a nice way around upkeep if you have the gems

This is the first I've heard of perma-blessed units having no upkeep at all. Is that really true? And if so I'm really anxious to learn if the Shroud trick will work!

Yes, it does work.

Hm this is interesting. You always learn something new http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Iirc the shroud costs only 5 pearls?
Sounds like an interesting pan strat, take oracle and good scales and forge shrouds for your pans http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif. Also Pan is one of the nations which doesn't neccessarily need a SC god for earlygame imho.

I'm fairly sure the shroud does not reduce upkeep...

I agree, I don't think the shroud reduces upkeep - the commander is blessed but not sacred.

I thought that all prophets have upkeep of zero, but I havn't tested it out.

Yes, prophets have 0 upkeep, sacred units half, shroud does nothing upkeep wise.

Still leaves prophetizing a high-cost non-sacred commander rather appealing - even more so than when I thought it was half upkeep. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

lets just say its very useful for neifel jarls

Re: Ack! Do I need to restart?
 
Does Shroud work for sacred units, then? Or is the "priceless" part of being prophet instead of being perma-blessed?
