[Shovah32]

I used an order3, sloth2, cold1(they like it), misfortune2, drain2 father of winters with dom6(he makes an amazing SC by the way) for the vanheim F9W9 bless. Not good scales but not really bad either.

With an E9 bless(i tested for fun) the heart companions did exactly the same with them wiped out and 1 dead van.

As i said i took 2 level 9 blesses rather than 1 level 9 and 1 level 4 to account for the extra resource cost of the heart companions(vans costed 240, companions costed 1350) although i'll try a 9/4 bless with around 20 vans some other time.

As for KoA vrs F9W9 vans, 15 of each in a straight fight(the KoA's got the charge) the vans won without a single casualty and no afflictions. I did a 1:1 fight because, although man wasnt paying for a bless, its knights are 5 more gold(80) and 45 more resources(61, almost 4 times the vans cost). The vans got produced fasters than the KoA's simply because gold is much more avaliable, in general, than resources, particularly for capitol only troops like KoA's.
