Fog Warriors requires A5, also. Done by the A4 who made the booster? ;) Spending the points up to A9 for an A5 spells doesn't seem too cost-effective to me :)

I should have misunderstood him a little, but its too late to edit my post... anyway

Sorry, I think we meant different things by "high Air". Apparently you meant A9. I was thinking more like A6, because everyone agrees that you don't take Air for the 9-bless. (It's useful to have more than the bare minimum for Fog Warriors to reduce fatigue and let you cast other spells.)

I was not arguing in favor of an air bless. I was pointing out some reasons you might go higher than A2 (which is all you really need for site-searching and Mistform).

blood 9 bless doesn't need to be changed, it may not be very useful against the genral masses but against strong enemy sacreds, SCs and thugs it is THE best bless, Plus the extra strength ain't too shabby to help punchthrough high armour and blood magic is such a powerful school that throwing blood on a pretender is nice to get you into it.

air could do with a change though, the shock resistance works for caelum when your using sacreds to protect your uber artillery mages and you don't feel like wiping out half your own army by casting shimmering feilds. But apart from that there ain't much use to it, i would rather something like +4 precision which would be nice for nations with nice sacred bowmen (LA tien chi, Kailasa) or nations with nice artillery mages.

Only if you didn't know how to use it - ie., use it to BOOST morale as your units died.

Re: proposed death curse change
 

I thought undead morale was separate from normal units morale, as berserk and mindless.

Re: proposed death curse change
 

I was also sure undead and mindless morale did not affect the average squad morale.

But I though berserk did. I didn't test it though.

How about a new status effect?

Demonblood: Makes units count as demons, but also adds +12 temporary hp.

I'm not sure if hp would be the best tradeoff, but I figured it might be a good fit since no other bless gives a max hp increase.

Got one for Air too!

Lightning Rod: Troops with this blessing will generate a "free" thunderstrike aimed with high precision at enemy forces. The more blessed troops are on the field at once, the stronger and more precise the bolt will be.

This way even otherwise worthless holy troops like flaggelants could be useful! :D

Re: proposed death curse change
 

There is already a lightning rod :D

Re: proposed death curse change
 

Meh, it's just a name :P

How about something cheesier then, like Cloud Chant?
