mictlan, and tienchi are also very strong in the EA in blitz games. You can mass produce the cheap and good sacreds.

You and I have a very different definition of "mass producing" something ... W5E's are capital ONLY, fragile and requires a duel bless to really make them effective. This is quite balanced IMO. Tien Chi gets summonable sacreds to somewhat add bulk to their troops but aside from Water Demons, I tend to have better uses for their gems.

On small map blitzes it doesnt matter if a sacred is capital only or not.
Besides you forget yet another important thing about tienchi, they have excellent mages also, not just cheap and good sacreds. Those mages can be deadly in a blitz game even, if you research the correct path with them.

What does this have to do with "mass producing" a unit ...? In a blitz, you can produce an equal ratio of Vans vs. W5e's. If you could have an even amount which would you choose? If anything you can mass produce Vans even easier since all you need is a fort and a temple to get things rolling. I'm sure one of your neighbors can be persuaded to lend you use of their fort ...

It is pretty simple. Here is a situation. 5 FFA blitz. You are with Niefelheim, and 2 provinces away, there is Mitclan with an uber bless build. You think that you will survive turn 8-10? If Mictlan is rushing you are pretty much dead. The mictlan troops will totally outnumber the N giants, and will massacre them. Now you understand that what did I meant on "massing sacreds"?
