I would love to see some kind of Holy/Unholy powers and progression. I hate that I have to advance/empower a priest as a magic user to gain power and that my priests cannot advance in holy/unholiness. A priest's power flows from their faith in their God, not magic. As their faith is tested it gets stronger.. unrelated to their magical ability if any.

I do not think that the resource additions are over-powered especially if you can only recruit lvl 1-3 holiness units. Think about the Riches from Beneath the Earth (If I remember the name correctly) spell and the resources it perpetually creates in all provinces. Both of these would create extra resources for 1 turn. If you monthly cast them you are losing a preacher/caster/leader of mid (H2) to high lvl (H5) which at least I never have enough high-levels. Your calculations on cost also need to keep in mind the cost creating the char to cast it. Massed Industry actually requires 950 gold (assuming H2 recruit) to cast. 850 gold to get the H5 char then 100 gold to cast and is only effective in one province 1 turn. Again Riches From Beneath the Earth has about the same additional resources, is perpetual - once cast always in effect (unless dispelled), affects all provinces, and no maintenance (where the prayers would have a cost each month cast).

Some tweaking does need to be done and some balancing, but I dont think his suggestions are unreasonable when considered with what currently exists in the game.
