Default Re: success with Mictlan in MP?

Fire and Death are both valid blessings for making Mictlan's normal troops relatively effective. Mass sacreds work well with Fear, and of course +9 damage is more useful when you have 50 units than when you have 10.

Jaguar Warriors are one of the few sacred units in the game that can be mass produced. If they're protected from Death by Archer they're reasonably effective as sacred troops go.

Eagle Warriors + Body Ethereal + Fear make for a nicely mobile flanking force that can break indies with moral checks. Eagles tend to get repelled alot, and a Nature Blessing wouldn't be bad either for the Bezerk. But all the Mictlan sacreds are cannon fodder in the end.

Feathered Warriors are essential, probably the most essential Mictlan standard unit, since they help make slave armies have at least a measure of durability against breaking. They still don't seem to work that well, because of, i believe, the way they radiate an 'aura', but how still the slave armies tend to outrun them.

Mass Protection is an awesome if not essential Mictlan spell. Mictlan is rather item dependent as well as Summons/Blood dependent, and need a decent gem income on top of their blood.
