Working from memory here so I certainly might be mistaken, but I believe they're H3.

Yep. I checked.

Since we're talking about making holy power more power-FULL, I'd just like to suggest giving individual Pretender chassis-either all of them or specific ones-their own personal Holy magic spells that they grant to their priests, in addition to the standards.

I'm not sure how this would work, and it would definitely take some hardcoding and balancing to implement, but it could make chosing a Pretender a whole lot more interesting, especially when it comes to the more unusual Titans, who currently probably don't get picked nearly as much as they should.

I realize also that it could have severe effects on a nation's balancing, but then so do Bless strategies. I can't see why this would be too much different, making priests for a Nation more versatile and powerful, as opposed to making just the sacred units. Especially when you consider that points spent on a Pretender to get that Pretender's specific spell(s) could have been used to get a higher Bless instead, which would have also affected the priests, as well as the basic sacred units.

That's not really what this thread is about at all... neat idea though.

Yeah, you're right. I'll move it to another thread.

I have used astral army-wide magic boost spells for Broken Empire Ermor, to get their holy levels up to cast their higher-level holy spells. One of their core tricks, it seems to me.

Sounds like Couatls are your solution Baalz.

Actually have Couatls got hands to carry a Crystal Shield? Hmm.

Well if not they can always do Power of the Spheres or communion.

They have astral magic, but no hands. Power of the spheres is easy for them though.
