Atlantis EA
Atlantis Living Pillars are great troops, but one area in which they are weak is that if you have an Earth sacred bless, it only seems to raise their prot up to 22 from 20. Unless I'm viewing this wrong, this makes them weaker than they ought to be. Is this a bug? I hope so, because Living Pillars are extremely hard to mass and should have the full effect of a bless strategy, should someone choose to go that way with EA Atlantis, just because their are very few advantages to doing so already. At Prot 24, (20 + 4 earth bless) 1 Living Pillar would be worth buying over 3 coral guards. It's a small thing, but it's enough to tip the balance against using Living Pillars, which is a shame, because they're such a cool unit, otherwise (one of the few units who don't take explitive from Helheim's best-I've seen one berserk Living Pillar take out 3 blessed Helheim troops and keep coming), and already lack a lot of love.
