1# Serpent cult has holy hydras. Therefore they are more expensive. They also have holy serpent cataphracts that are only recruitable in the capital.

2# Desert tombs starts out with a set of spells for summoning unholy undead priests. The thus summonable tomb king can reanimate tomb wyrms as well as a set of more common undeads.

Holy hydras Batman!

And here I was just thinking that black hunters were going to give the KoC a run for their money as most powerful sacred troops...

Machaka isn't just zulus riding spiders, it's zulus riding sacred spiders the size of elephants.

As for desert tombs: so they have national summons like Dom I Ermor, but without the killer dominion, and still get all the troops of normal C'tis too? Impressive. I'll have to check it out.
