Well, you have vans with 2 9 blesses. heh. try van with 1 9 1 4. My whole point was you can get a solid, not spectacular, troop without giving up scales, and for a relatively cheap 25 gold. But you ran the fight, and my hat is off to you for that.

Still, i am surprised the heart companions did so poorly.
Fire bless is better than e9 bless, they need the added attack bonus more, plus can hit ethereal units. They never rout anyway, sick morale, then blessed and divine spell, and exp star or 2. Since the priestess heals their afflictions, i am not too worried about them getting hearts.

What god did you use for those double 9 blesses, and what were your scales?

If you do not mind, i would be curious to see the vans fight the koas of man. I am sure with the double 9 bless they would trash them.
